Skills
Absolutely!

Responsibilities
Yes. All the individuals in the bank were very keen to grant us with significant autonomy. Provided I was willing and able to take on additional tasks where I had demonstrated my ability, there was never a time in which I was not encouraged to take on responsibility.
Support & Guidance
There was plenty of support throughout, both from the bank's HR department and from my immediate colleagues.
Culture
I was incredibly surprised by how welcoming and supportive the culture/atmosphere was at the bank. Everyone was willing to lend a helping hand wherever necessary, and people were always receptive to catching up throughout the internship.
Your Impressions
I genuinely thoroughly enjoyed my time at the bank. The internship struck a perfect balance between being sufficiently hard to provide a steep learning curve, whilst also providing ample opportunity to develop personally.
Yes
Undertake research into the company's unique working culture and environment, ensuring that you are aware of the bank's values.
