The Role
Very interesting internship with many opportunities to get to know different teams within the firm and to meet different people easily. Fantastic way to explore a job and to get to know a company well.
I felt in almost all the teams integrated from day one on. In some teams, it was even almost like a work family atmosphere - which is great given the short amount of time you stay in one team (approx. 4 weeks).
Great support through multiple sources of guidance by more senior people. Buddies, mentors and many different senior people lined up to support you and give advice and were more than open to have a chat with you. Really great.
Very busy - there were maybe 2-3 days where I was not all the time occupied. It was never boring!!!
Dependent on the team. In some teams, I was given a lot of responsibility, in others less. However, it is very much dependent on the project. The teams where I was given less responsibilities, there was typically a higher involvement of more senior people which would do a lot of "ground" work themselves, so it is understandable that interns automatically get less responsibilities. However, on other teams I was even able to build a small valuation model on my own.
The training was very useful to get quickly started on the job. Additional training was provided throughout the internship which was very cool. There was also product specific training given by analysts and associates which was very useful and interesting as it was super helpful for the daily work and understanding of the business.
The Company
Positive, hard working, very friendly and helpful
Very well organized with weekly programmes including training sessions, senior speaker series and and and. Everything went very smoothly.
They have invested a lot in us - training, resources, the time of senior people and also made sure we would be involved on cool project and would learn a lot.

Very appealing. Great firm to work for - if not the best.
The Culture
The fellow interns were all very interesting, cheerful and fun people - and we gathered outside of work to enjoy the free time.
Rather high as I lived in central London.
