Pros

Great Intern Program. 10 weeks of a well constructed program. They encourage you to meet directors and managing directors - which is a great idea - and the directors seem to be quite used to the idea by now and sometimes take the interns out to lunch

Cons

its located in canary wharf - not in the city. some people who like to drive may prefer this, but depending on where you live it leads to a longer commute
