Pros

Good brand name Good networking opportunities Decent retail banking experience Great pay for interns Company benefits (gym, catering, prime London locations, compensated travel expenses)

Cons

Very limited wealth management experience Very limited opportunities to make a difference Highly simplistic task with the overall goal of showing "this is what a bank is", but your participation in the life of a bank is very limited (i.e. you don't do anything that provides decent value for bank) Was assigned to work 4 weeks for charity activities, instead of proper 4 weeks of wealth management experience

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
