    Responsibilities

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • I really enjoyed my internship within Barclays, my team was amazing, the work was meaningful, this internship has been amazing since the first day I joined the firm and I think coming back to work here would be very nice because I still have much more to discover, the internship seems to be going so fast.

  • 7. Would you recommend Barclays to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Barclays

    • I would say it is important to be yourself, don't be afraid to speak about your passions, and hobbies during the interview process, they really value who you are as a person much more than your technical abilities, which is very nice as they will help you to develop your skills during the internship.
