    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I get the impression that the culture at BAML is better than some of its competitors. Training / speakers / social events were frequent and very well organised. I like the office location and building a lot. Work environment is fun and sociable, you meet lots of interesting people.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues were friendly. I loved being part of a large intake of summer analysts and the social events organised by HR were great. I was writing my MSc dissertation at the time of my internship and received useful advice on this from several colleagues although they didn't have to help me.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My mentor was very helpful and easy to talk to. He always made time for me, was very organised and did in fact help me when I had a query regarding taking annual leave during the internship.
