We were given a calendar at the start of the internship with all the events and talks we were to attend for the 10 weeks and the schedule rarely changed from the original dates planned. We received a phone call from our manager two weeks beforehand tell us our specific location and what our project work would involve.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing, we got the chance to speak to many graduates to ask they how they found working at the company. Something which was particularly appealing was the encouraged mobility as there is such a wide variety of roles within technology and the bank as a whole, further due to their scale you could work in pretty much any country you wanted to.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • Very social, there were many events hosted by the recruiters which were designed for networking but there was also a very social atmosphere within the interns so there was drinks after work at least once a week which you could go to.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • As it was central London, very expensive. However JP Morgan gave you £1000 relocation fee to help you with the cost of accommodation.

    3/5
