The Role
It was extremely relevant to my studies.
I interned in a small team so I got a lot of attention
I had buddies and mentors who were making sure I am progressing on a daily basis
I had some really busy days with a lot of late nights, it was tough
At times key aspects of the projects we were working on depended on me
I can link a lot of real life situations with the theory we are studying at the LSE
The Company
It was very professional but people still had a good sense of humor
It was clearly evident that HR people have put A LOT OF EFFORT in organizing all the events
I was trained in the technicals and during the internship everyone around me kept trying transferring their soft skills
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus

The Culture
We were encouraged to work together all the time and we grew to appreciate each other
Canary Wharf is expensive
But it is also fun and vibrant
There were a number of corporate challenges, charities and sports days
