- The opportunity to participate in various workshops and development sessions

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, my placement manager has given me a lot of responsibility and I was able to work week by week on my little project. It was encouraging, as it is not just an unnecessary task given to you because you are an intern, I was actually able to see the impact of it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Great company culture - Have never experienced anything like that. People are so helpful and nice. Wellbeing is a big part of the culture and is very valued by all employees and even we interns had the opportunity to participate in some wellbeing activities. NatWest really values your mental health especially during Covid and I really appreciated that.
