Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to work on a research project which aimed to reduce the computational time for a mathematical model. I worked with my co-intern on the same. We discussed our daily tasks with the team during the stand-ups and got insights into their work as well.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Being a private sider in the bank, I had access to loads of data. With this kind of access comes responsibility of maintaining the integrity of the data. I presented the final project (along with my co-intern) to the senior management of FRDC (Finance Risk Data Controls) at JPMorgan.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was something that I loved the most. The way the company fosters the spirit of togetherness is unbelievable. My manager and her manager were both extremely helpful and understanding. I also shadowed a few other teams and everyone was very friendly and always willing to talk and help me understand their work.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my internship to the fullest. This is probably true for all interns in the Glasgow office. So much so that one of my co-interns (who is now a close friend) cried on the last day of the internship. The recruitment team was spot on with the selections! I couldn't have imagined making so many new close friends in such a short span of time!
