I had the opportunity to speak with colleagues across the business to help me better understand the context of my project, with the goal of presenting my recommendations at the end of the 10 week internship.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Fantastic. The culture works very well at Capital One. Everyone is very friendly and open to questions looking to help you learn wherever possible. The teams all seem to work very well together and the managers make sure to make everyone feel included. Respect was earned through deliverables, rather than through an unnecessary amount of bureaucracy which I liked also.
