About You
It was really a good opportunity to see what it is like to work in this company. I got a quite deep understanding about Barclays and banking in general.
Everyone who participated were encouraged to participate in the activities.
I didn't have any problems during my insight but I always felt that if I did I can easily approach the organizers.
Everyone who participated were encouraged to participate in the activities. We had a presentation skills, soft skills and interview technique training. I believe that I really got a better understanding of these areas.
The Company
It was really well structured. We didn't have any problems regarding the event in general.
We received a number of training for the group in general. In addition to that, everyone had an opportunity to do work shadowings that gave a great insight of the specific roles.
During the first day we received a lot of information about banking and the company in general. Later we had work shadowings that gave really good insights about the roles.
We had a presentation about the values in the company and we had to discus them and decide how we will achieve them.
Everything Else
We got paid £250 to reimbursed our stay in London.
We had two networking events and we were encourage to arrange our own after the official part of the day.
