    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Very informative and packed day that provides an insight into Global Markets and Investment Banking.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • 5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • In a day there is not much need for guidance/support, however being on the Academy programme also which is 8 weeks during the summer I can say without a doubt that everyone at RBC is incredibly supportive from our contacts in HR to the line managers we are working with.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Despite the insight being only 1 day, it was incredibly beneficial and was a real insight into Capital Markets (GM and IB). I particularly enjoyed talking to the existing graduates, they were very honest and answered all queries I had regarding the industry and RBC specifically.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • 5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • 3/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Hard to say based on the insight day alone as the programme is just a day. However if you are interested in what a full time role with RBC would seem like, read reviews on the Academy programme or internships.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Hard to say based on the insight day alone as the programme is just a day. However if you are interested in what a full time role with RBC would seem like, read reviews on the Academy programme or internships.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Hard to say based on the insight day alone as the programme is just a day. However if you are interested in what a full time role with RBC would seem like, read reviews on the Academy programme or internships.

    4/5
