Discovery Nomura Review

Great culture, great opportunity to learn about the Japanese culture and its influence on the bank.

I feel the diversity is very welcomed at the bank, as an Asian, that is what I value a lot.

Got great chance to learn about the technical knowledge from the presentation and stock pitching acitivities.

I learnt about the financial knowledge and the insight about the industry.

Very well structured, and the HR team is super nice and supportive.

we do not have networking event

They have lots of volunteering work to do outside of work, which I find interesting and lovely to have. It also shows the giving back culture of the bank. If I were an employee at the bank, I would also love to be involved in the volunteering event outside of work.
