Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone at Natwest were all inclusive in making us interns, learn and improve a great deal.
There was a great 'vibe' in the general atmosphere, and this cuts across other branches, as i had the opportunity to visit the London branch. so i got to testify that my experience is the general bank's culture and atmosphere.
