The Role
The work I did was dynamic and stimulating. However, the internship is a bit stressful as there are a lot of things to do.
Most of my collegues were really friendly, willing to help me progressing.
My supervisors were truly willing to support me even if the markets conditions of the summer made them quiet busy.
I was quiet busy because the summer in itself requires work and on the other side, I was willing to make productions for my team and to help them to my extend.
I know that most of the work I produced might be used again so I consider I had responsibilites.
It help me a lot but some of the notions we see at university don't have exactly yhe same meaning in the working life.
The Company
Friendly atmosphere within the persons of the floor even under pressure.
Very good organisation which gave us the opportunity to learn and enjoy as much as possible.
The training is very complete all along the internship, I would recommend to do groups of level during the training week.
Company Parties/Events
The internship really motivated me to join the firm by giving me a broad and nice overview of it.
The Culture
It was very agreable to share this experience with very diverse people.
Canary Wharf is quiet expensive to live in or to get some food.
Canary Wharf is definitely not the best place to go out.
We organised lots of drinks and dinners between interns in order to meet outside the offices as well.
