About You
Very much. It was a packed and very enjoyable three days.
Very valued by HR and many employees, but some employees we talked to didn't seem to know why we were there or what they had been invited to.
Received as much guidance as was needed.
Not really in my degree but certainly in my future financial career!
The Company
Well structured however a few events ran over time and a couple under time.
Very relaxed and encouraging.
Not particular financial training but useful skills sessions were there to help.
Hard to see this over three days but work shadowing and networking events helped give a small insight into what it could be like.
Very good for understanding the culture as lots of networking events.
I already had a good idea but the programme helped to solidify that impression.
Everything Else
Travel reimbursed.
Lots of opportunities including a really enjoyable night doing pub quiz!
Lots of opportunity to meet all our colleagues as we were in groups who we grew very close to and during social networking events such as the quiz again.
Working in an investment bank is a full on role so not much outside work but a few diversity projects and talks of the gym were mainly discussed by employees.
I would certainly recommend it!
