Definitely very involved and supportive, even tailored for individuals.
No doubt about it, very rarely was there downtime. It felt a bit stressful at times, but I believe that is a good learning experience with regards to time management.
You could always take on more depending on how much you asked. You could never ask for responsibility and just coast through, but if you wanted to take leading roles, the option (and encouragement) was definitely there.
I think I developed my professional communication skills greatly in this position, in addition to my business IQ. I would've preferred to do a bit more number-crunching, but that's particular to me.

There were hiccups with regards to scheduling here and there, but those things are often out of ones (the organizers) control. Considering that, it was relatively well run.
In that respect, this company fires on all cylinders. Even as an intern, you have plenty access to a large amount of extra courses and learning should you be interested that would usually cost hundreds of dollars.
Definitely attractive, good base salary and reasonable working hours, with plenty of chance for development. In a general sense, it is a very attractive place to work. I would only recommend that those wanting a pure finance job not to apply here. While you need to have knowledge of and interact with people in the industry, very little of the work itself is actually financial (spare a few specialized departments). What you do get here is a very well-educated business mindset however, and it might open up different opportunities you didn't think you'd have access to otherwise.
As above, very Gregorian, and everyone almost becomes friends and goes drinking together.
London is unfortunately a cash cow, and a night out can leave a hefty dent in your wallet.
Shoreditch is close by, with plenty of options for those interested, but it wasn't something I'd spend time on.
Absolutely. There are plenty of different groups here almost like university. Notable are the philanthropic events though, and you can actually use work hours to attend them.
