About You
A fantastic insight, well organised and well prepared. Gave us a great range of networking situations and wonderfully interactive events.
I managed to meet some great people during the week, and left with some friends. I am pleased with how well I felt I fit into the bank.
Plenty of people from different backgrounds offering varied insights and opinions to working in the bank.
I can use much of these new lessons when applying for grad roles within Barclays, hopefully performing highly in my future career given the information learnt.
The Company
Constant sessions and much to do! I was very impressed by how well organised the week was.
Highly enjoyed the week, felt supported, confident and happy.
Offered me time and insights to help me develop my understanding of the industry. I am pleased with the shining values of the bank, the atmosphere stood out and helped me develop over the week.
Greatly. The employees are honest and clearly passionate about what they do.
RISES values stood out throughout the firm, made me excited about the possibility of working there.
I have decided for sure on Markets - Sales!
Everything Else
Very quick payment, covered my main expenses for the week.
Constant networking lunches and a large event on the first day.
Well structured and gave reasonable time to rotate
No mention of this, employees sounded busy within their own work.
Fantastic week! Highly recommend!!!
