The Role
Really enjoyed working for Goldman Sachs - the work was exciting and challenging but at the same time the people were friendly and helpful!
I was treated like a full time employee, meaning that I was valued just as much as the rest of the team
I was given the relevant training for my role and had a constant stream of support from my managers and peers.
Each day differed but I was always busy and had tasks to complete.
I was treated like a full time employee and given a lot of responsibility during my time at the firm.
The skills I have developed will definitely assist me in my degree and in the work I undertake after I graduate.
The Company
Everyone was focused to get their work done to the highest standards, but there was also a very friendly and open atmosphere.
Very well planned to maximise the experience.
They invest their time into you by providing constant training and skills development.

The Culture
Everyone was friendly and open to networking after hours which gave a good social aspect.
Lived from home, but socialising was reasonable prices.
Very good, busy and popular.
