The Role
It was a great experience.
Everyone valued our opinions.
A lot of guidance, but left us room to use our initiative.
Varied hugely. Some weeks I was very busy other the workload was very light.
For some roles I was given more responsibility. It was largely linked to how 'needed' we were.
I have learnt a lot for my degree.
The Company
The atmosphere was very friendly and social.
Very well organised. Could not have been better.
Very good for the beginning months, however there was nothing available for us after the first summer.
Would like to work for Morgan Stanley again.
The Culture
Not very many social events throughout the year.
Canary wharf is very expensive when compared to university prices.
More bar/pubs. No lightclubs.
I had the time to do activities outside of work.
