    The Role

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

    • Previous internships have been day to day processing/support function roles, however this internship was project based and provided me with a completely different skill set which is needed in a projects role. These are completely transferable skills that will assist me beyond my internship. In light of this it has been a very enjoyable internship experience not just because of the work but the people and the culture of social inclusion throughout the firm.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • For the first 5 weeks of my internship I was moving around different seats every week so I didn’t get to experience the general atmosphere until the second half of my internship where I was in a permanent seat, the atmosphere was great and my colleagues have most certainly enhanced my experience
