Really enjoyed it, work was challenging but interesting. All employees also made lots of time for us, and were really happy to take our questions throughout the programme. I didn't have much experience in finance before coming, and that was not a concern either - I felt I was judged very much on my potential, rather than what I already knew.

Very valued; before coming in, I thought no-one would have time for me, but everyone was very willing to teach me new things and answer any questions I had as well, which I really appreciated. Whenever I finished projects, they took the time to come and listen to me present them too. We also had buddies and mentors who we could turn to for advice about the programme and they were helpful for me in terms of navigating the process.

Since the programme is rotational, you don't really have a set manager, since this will change over the course of each rotation you do, but for every desk I was on the managers were very helpful, always told me to reach out if I had any questions etc.

It depends really on the desk you're rotating on and for how long. Personally, I was reasonably busy, but never felt overwhelmed, but definitely be prepared to take the initiative when it comes to projects. I think it was more of a case of balancing your time and ensuring you met as many people as possible, which was definitely an integral component of the internship.

Realistically, there is only so much you can do without having had training etc. but I did feel like my projects gave me a good overview of what each desk did on a day to day basis. I felt there was a lot of independence given to us - it was really up to us to take the initiative on things and reach out to desks we were interested in etc.

I do History, so obviously the internship will not be at all relevant to my degree! But I definitely feel it's been hugely beneficial for my long-term career prospects and for learning more about the industry in general. The training in particular was very useful.

Good, I mean obviously everyone's quite focused on work but the office environment itself was nice and there was time for chatting too.

Thought it was very well organised. The first 2 weeks were more training-focused, but we had presentations from senior leadership, presentations from different desks etc. throughout. HCM were always very helpful and communicative and all events were put in our diary so it was easy to see what was scheduled for the week ahead. I would emphasise though that it was a lot about taking the initiative in terms of reaching out to different desks, asking for projects. So, while there was a good base framework to build upon, I would definitely say be prepared to go beyond the scheduled events.

Definitely felt that I learnt a lot - everyone dedicated so much time to training me, explaining topics I didn't understand etc. It was also really helpful to be given projects which were very much learning exercises. We also had classroom sessions at the beginning of the internship which were helpful in ensuring everyone was at a certain standard (particularly as I think quite a lot of us were rusty after our interviews/spring weeks!)

Seemed very meritocratic from my experience - there are lots of young managers and senior people. Really seemed that if you worked hard and you had the ability you would succeed. I think internal mobility is also quite high, especially between different desks in one division.

Reasonable - we would always be chatting at work and taking the time to catch-up, but not that much outside of work. I think probably because most of us were quite busy, especially towards the end of the internship. I also found all the interns very friendly and there was a genuine teamwork atmosphere - it didn't feel like we were competing at all.

It's London, so everything is expensive, but equally you are being paid, so it works out better value than being a 西瓜视频.

I didn't really go that much, but again it's London, so lots of choice.

We did a Community TeamWorks volunteering day, which was a nice chance to get out of the office, and there are sports teams from GS too. Apart from that, weekends were mostly free to do whatever you fancied.
