Responsibilities
My line manager was extremely helpful and always providing me with work or teaching me about the different products he looks at and values. I was given various tasks throughout the internship, responsible for analysing, compiling and comparing data.
Support & Guidance
I received a lot of support from my entire team especially my line manager who always put aside time to teach me about his role and further my learning when I had a lot of questions. My team put aside time to allow me to shadow their work and are always helpful when I had questions. The head of the intern program always provided guidance and especially arranging talks to learn about different divisions of finance.
Culture
The culture is really good - everyone I have talked to here is friendly and willing to put time aside to help you whether that was with my presentation or just wanting to learn about their role and experiences. Networking and meeting people here has been really enjoyable for me.
