The Role
Many networking events, very social atmosphere, a well organised intern programme
I delivered a very valuable system that reported directly to the trading floor on a daily basis
I learnt loads thanks to the support of my Buddy
A bit too busy if anything but that's only because I took the work on and put a lot of effort in
I some real responsibility for my project work and had independence to manage my own schedules
I think the internship will really help, my technical skills have hugely improved
The Company
Very busy but social
Very well planned out 10 week programme, lots of events going on
The first week was pure training and then it continued right the way through
Subsidised/Company Gym
Very competitive industry, don't be fooled.. Appealing prospects though definitely
The Culture
Got on well with them all, a good mix of people
Pretty cheap considering its London
So many places to go in London, you are bound to find somewhere
Softball, bowling and many other drinking intern events plus running clubs and other networking events
