The Role
It was both challenging and enjoyable, took on a diverse number of projects and had the opportunity to network across the bank.
Extremely supportive environment, everyone was very keen to get to you know you and more than happy to discuss their own experiences.
Excellent feedback/review system which meant I was told my strengths and how my weaker areas could be improved.

Reasonable, though this is London so you're never going to get off lightly.
Great social scene - love the buzz of the city workers
Plenty of networks and sport teams
