    • The current graduate schemes are incorrectly described, for example the general management description states things about relationship management but is in fact solely based in CB delivery

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

    • Although the company did not facilitate any social meetings or networking for interns aside from the first introduction event and close event there was a good atmosphere between interns, and everyone supported each other, particularly during the charity challenge

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

    • London has really good nightlife although can be expensive

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

    • There were not any activities organised for us, but unlike at other banks the hours were strictly 9-5 which meant there was plenty of time to do other things outside of work

    3/5
