About You
The week was really well structured and very informative
Attempts were made to highlight that we were handpicked from an extremely large applicant pool which made me further value the opportunity.
We were each assigned a mentor and also had the Graduate Recruitment team nearby to ask any questions.
Some of the presentations gave a useful analysis of topics I cover in my Macroeconomics module
The Company
We had a very busy day and always knew what we were doing/what was coming next.
Really great atmosphere! Everyone was extremely friendly and ready to talk to you!
Talents, Passion, Understanding of the firm, and the Motivation to be part of the community.
The atmosphere was amazing and something I would love to be a part of in the future. I had a great taster into the culture of the firm.
In speaking to many employees I was able to appreciate how friendly and helpful everyone I spoke to was.
It helped me decide which role(s) I am most interested in
Everything Else
Accommodation and travel was provided
Loads of networking opportunity everyday! These varied in the type of employees and how intimate the networking sessions were.
The intimate networking sessions were a lot better as the larger group setting often resulted in the dominant/louder people in the group being heard making it difficult for everyone to get their questions answered.
The people in the firm could just start their own activities ! On the first day, the firm organized a transport fair so that the staff could explore new or cheaper ways to commute.
Definiately! It was a great week, quite long hours in comparison to what I'm used to at uni, but it was worth it!
