The Role
The work given to me over the course of the 10 weeks was varied which gave me a good insight into lots of different parts of the role. The work i was given was also what i would be doing had i been a normal employee. This suprised me as i did not expect to be given work of that importance
The team i was put into was made up of a great group of individuals. They instantly made me feel part of the team, by inviting me out for drinks, and other social events. Honestly could not have wished for a nicer group of people. I was especially touched as they all chipped in and got me a couple of leaving gifts.
I was sat next to my manager, who was always available for any questions i had, which was very useful. I had weekly catch ups with him, where he would let me know how i was getting on, and how i could improve.
First week was fairly quiet, as i was given online training to complete. However, once i had done that, my work gradually built up until i was doing a normal employees daily workload
I was pleasantly suprised at how much responsibilty i was given. by the end of the internship, i was completing work that had real value and importance.
Being in the envirnment i was in gave me an excellent insight into the financial world, which gave me a more solid understanding. This will no doubt be useful for my degree.
The Company
Lots of great personalities and people of similar age to me. Hoenstly had such a great time, which made me look forward to work everyday.
The team in charge of the programme could not be faulted, within the first week they had already laid out times and dates of talks and events. this was very helpful in planning what i would be doing with my time
Lots of resources availabe to progress my understanding. Also, everyone was ready to answer qustions and share their own knowledge.

Many interns were offered places on the graduate scheme, for after university. It is an excellent programme that i am very proud to have been offered a place on.
The Culture
most people in my team went out regularly which was good. Interns/graduate events were always fun, as well including free food and drink! was also a great way to meet new people.
Being London, food and drink was always going to be fairly expensive. I stayed living at home, so only had to pay for travel.
Lots of excellent bars and restaurants in canary wharf. Also didnt take too long to get into the city, where there was always something happening
yes, there was always something going on, especially over the summer
