Analyst Review

The company went above and beyond to provide a rewarding and beneficial internship for myself and my peers. I learned a lot in the short time and gained valuable skills.

The staff at Morgan Stanley were all extremely welcoming and supported my development. My work was praised regularly by my manager and ED, which I was pleasantly surprised at. Feeling valued by several high levels of management and my direct team really helped my morale and motivated me to do better.

My manager went above and beyond to support me, as well as my buddy. The system works well have two points of contact in the team directly for yourself as an intern, however the rest of the team were also committed to supporting myself in my internship which truly helped.

Towards the start of the internship I wasn’t very busy, this was due to the delay in setting up systems and ‘finding my feet’ in the company and learning the foundations of my team. However, as the internship progressed I was kept busy with daily tasks and a few projects. It was a good balance.

I was given a lot of responsibility on my internship which I really enjoyed. It motivated me and let me see a real insight to what the day to day tasks where within the team as a full time analyst. It also motivated my learning and gained my confidence in my abilities - this improving my performance.

I learned a lot of valuable and practical skills from scratch within my internship. For example, I learned how to utilise reporting and analytic systems, as well as learn Microsoft Excel from the beginning and really learn how to use it as a tool within an Analyst role.

Can’t comment as did not work in the office due to remote working

The internship was set up well. However, due to last minute changes to the structure having to be remote there were some teething issues understandably and we weren’t advised much before the internship on what it would entail.

The firm were invested in our training and development, as seen through regular sessions with vendors and external parties to teach us a range of skills and knowledge through skills at work to learning about financial markets.

Very appealing - the firm exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond in all aspects And I would be delighted to pursue my career within the firm.

Yes the interns all contacted and connected with each other on a regular basis and in our free time we arranged social zooms and remote ‘pub’ quizzes.

I have always lived in Glasgow so with the office being in Glasgow too there was no difference or effect to this than my normal cost of living. I did save money though from remote working.

Can’t comment as worked remotely

Not really as we were working remotely. However, there were many committees and networks to join.
