Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We are given a mentor who is not in our direct work and is usually someone senior (AVP and above), and a buddy who is someone who has recently finished the graduate program, so there is a support system in place if you have any questions or just want to talk to someone. The managers are also very helpful.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Deutsche Bank to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deutsche Bank
Speak to the people within the bank and hear the honest truth. Understand what "culture" really means and that is not the same in every company. Ask questions you actually want to know the answer to. Be open to criticism and take feedback positively.
