Data & Analytics Intern Review

We were involved in up-skilling sessions, networking sessions with our stream's expert leaders within the company and insight sessions where we found out what the working environment at Natwest was like. Plenty of interactive opportunities and breakout room discussions to get to know your peers and practice team building.

I've developed my teamwork skills, learned how to talk about my achievements and support others in feeling proud of their professional and personal achievements. I feel I've developed my leadership skills by coordinating and designating roles within my Insight Challenge team but also played to people's strengths and listened and incorporated everyone's ideas.

It was a good insight into the variety of jobs and roles within the data and analytics sector and what skills and knowledge Natwest value when applying for a job there and going through assessment centre.

I really liked the company culture, it felt very welcoming to people from all backgrounds and felt like a very supportive and flexible work environment.

I enjoyed it, but I felt that there could have been some more sessions and challenges that are a bit more personalised to our streams. We only had one day of hearing from leaders in data and analytics. I felt we had all our questions asked and answered on why we should work at NatWest, but not necessarily the questions answered about why to work in data analytics.
