  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I believe 80+ percent of individuals who undertake the internship recieve a graduate offer which is very high indeed considering the competitiveness for a placement with a bank.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Social scene amongst other interns and colleagues was somewhat poor but varies drastically on your location - your office, number of other interns in your building and etc.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is always expensive and you could be placed in other areas if you so wished to do so.

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Fantastci nightlift in central London

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There is an apprentice like charity challenge which is a nice addition to the placement. In addition, there are opportunities to get involved in other charitable work but they would have to be pursued by individuals themselves.
