Vantaggi
Business: Strong European bank, more business thanks to balance sheet use. Culture: Very open culture. People willing to help all the time. Was shown around by different people in the bank from many different teams. From analyst to senior management always found some time to talk to you, take you out for a lunch and chat, answer questions. Social: Events were organised to meet other interns and also business representatives. Well organised and fun. Information provided before hand to allow to prepare. Extra: HR is very helpful and well organised. Flexibility with important issues, tries to accommodate different needs. Catering is wonderful compared to other places, as is location, in a large building in the City of London.
Svantaggi
Possibly a smaller, younger investment bank. Less brand name in the investment banking industry, although it is one of the largest and well-known universal banks.
