Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis, I prepare some essential documents for the team, I also prepare a playbook for my team. But I also work on my group project with other interns.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I believe I have been given responsibility because I have been able to access some protected file, provide some data from those file & my team trusted me with my excel modelling and the data.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

The company culture feels nice. But with a survey my peers and I made on Wellbeing within our Division, we had some very bad responses considering that the survey was anonymous.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Barclays to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Barclays
I would say it is important to be yourself, don't be afraid to speak about your passions, and hobbies during the interview process, they really value who you are as a person much more than your technical abilities, which is very nice as they will help you to develop your skills during the internship.
