Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The company culture is excellent. Everyone is happy to spend time with you, give you insights into their work and answer any questions that you have. It was wonderful to shadow different people and have meetings to see how each persons job was different yet their work is interlinked with so many other teams I've worked with.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I enjoyed my internship thoroughly. I got the experience of working at a big organisation and network with several people from across the bank. I had the opportunity to also learn about different topics like data analytics and machine learning using the various resources that NatWest has to offer. I had the chance to work on placement tasks that gave me insights into my teams day-to-day work and I also worked on a group project that helped me work with a team and develop new ideas with them.
