The Role
It was very interesting and you had the opportunity to learn a lot about investment banking and meet people.
It was only a two day event but I met some lovely people!
We did job shadowing as part of the event and had presentations as to how to apply for a grad scheme. This was very useful.
We stopped for lunch and even that was a networking event! So very busy but that was good.
The event mainly consisted of job shadowing and presentations so very little responsibility to none.
There was a lot of advice about applying for graduate schemes, taking part in assessment centres and helping with CV's. Over all this was extremely helpful.
The Company
Everyone seemed to be very happy and enjoying their roles within the company.
Very, we barely stopped but everything was well organised in terms of who was looking after us and who we were supposed to be with.
As only a 2 day invent not much can be said for this section but during day to the advice given will really help us when applying to the company and who to do well within the company.
Company Parties/Events
We met very useful contacts.
The Culture
Wasn't really aware of this as it was only 2 days.
The company paid for accommodation and travel.
Didn't get a chance to see it!
Doesn't really apply here as it was only 2 days.
