Diverse and inclusive is the reason that most employees answer the question of why Nomura is its people. At Nomura, everyone is friendly and will help you if you put the first move The hierarchy within Nomura is 'flat' as you can always talk to a more senior manager
Your Impressions
Overall, the insight programme was very useful, however, parts of it were hard to understand but mostly because I had no background in finance, although, different speakers did a good job in making everything clears in their presentations.
