The Role
Good way to spend a couple of days in Easter!
No real team activities, presentations for the most part.
Staff on site were very supportive, keen to answer any/all questions
Great balance between the presentations during the day and meals at night after which there were networking opportunities
No real tasks to complete.
Crucial information on what makes DB tick, beyond the company website rhetoric!
The Company
From the outside looking in, quite dull, people working are extremely concentrated on their task!
Well-timetabled week, flowed well in general
Acquired contacts at the firm and learnt more about what the job what actually involve
Subsidised Canteen

Company Parties/Events
Did not get past the fast-track interview.
The Culture
Great group to hang out with!
DB subsidised all expenses.
Plethora of things to do at night in London, many people were too tired though..
