The Role
It was a great experience, and I learned many lessons from various people.
I received a lot of meaningful work, and a large responsibility was placed on me from the first day. I could always speak to senior analysts, and people were very welcoming.
There was always someone to answer any questions that I had.
I never had a day where there was nothing to do. The amount of work you get is team-specific.
I received a lot of responsibility, and my work was part of the end product.
The skills I received will be highly beneficial for my career in the finance industry.
The Company
Friendly and positive
Very well organized
In addition to the knowledge you receive from various people, there were a lot of coaching sessions, learning events and a free access to online courses.
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Travel loan
Extremely appealing
The Culture
The placement offered multiple events where I could socialize with my colleagues.
London is a very expensive city. Cost of living can be very high, mainly coming from rents. The cost of socializing is above average but is low compared to the cost of living.
There is always a place to go.
If you are interested in any type of involvement, there is a place for every interest.
