Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend NatWest Group to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to NatWest Group
Ask lots of questions- they don't expect you to come in and know what you're doing. You should feel challenged because that means you're learning and really getting the most out of the experience.
