Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Working closely with the team you are placed in on their owned products or on a project you are given to tackle over the 12 weeks.
Constantly engaging with people across the company, organising meetings and gathering as much knowledge as possible so you are as informed as possible to tackle your project.
I worked on a project to speed up quant researcher's workflows by predicting resource requirements required for their jobs, instead of having them calculate or guess it.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes - given full responsibility over the project we were tackling, including which methods and technologies to use, while also having guidance when we needed it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Atmosphere was great; had lots of interns I could speak to, not many young people in the company in general but lots of nice FTEs. Company drinks every month, plus special events as well.
