    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed working in a corporate environment alongside such patient, caring team members. I enjoyed learning about fraud risk trends as it was very new to me but very interesting. I also really enjoyed networking and connecting with the other interns. The Campus Recruitment team organized very insightful activities where we learnt about all aspects of Amex and also informally networked between ourselves.
