I was given a choice over the work I'd prefer to do over the internship. We were working on a project that required backend, testing, and front end development. The work was reasonably challenging and enjoyable.

The project is being taken on by full-time colleagues thus meaning any work we did was going to be greatly valued later on. They offered help when ever needed and were more than happy to offer advice.

A number of more senior staff were involved in the project and would attend daily SCRUM meetings, they took a relatively active role in checking up on our work and encouraging us to learn more about where the tool we were working fitted in to the wider business.

Always something to do. This may have been reading up on a new language, shadowing, actually building, or one of the many useful sessions with senior staff organized by the firm. Days flew by as I became engrossed in problem .

We were given relatively free reign over what we were working on. Our designs, our build.

A great chance to learn some new tech and break away from that independent project mentality. Great emphasis is placed on the Agile methodology, great to take some well practiced project management skills to university. Opportunity to undertake online training in many different areas, this shall hopefully be useful later down the line.

Relaxed, casual dress. There is two offices, I have been in the smaller of the two. There is still a good number of interns and younger staff, it's also only just around the corner from the larger office.

It is evident that a great deal of time and thought goes into organizing the internship. The initial training in the first week was excellent, giving some good financial education. A number of talks from the CEO, CIO, CFO etc allow you to form a good understanding of where tech fits into a global investment bank. Each intern has a buddy and a technical mentor, their advice is always good. A number of social events are organized and tend to be very, very fun. I conclude, this is a very well organized internship.

The internship isn't really about building something tangible. It's about coming to understand how JPM tech is set up and how people work. They are investing this time in you with the hope that you'll come back. So, I say they invested greatly in us.

This was my second summer with JPM having decided to do a masters, a number of others had done this. It's a great company.

Good, I took it easy this year, but there's always something going on.

Low, good.

Glasgow, it's good.

Lots of clubs run by staff here. I took part in a local corporate rowing regatta with a number of other colleagues.
