Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight event lasted 2 days. Day 1 was in-person and involved panels and workshops about women in NatWest and NatWest's purpose. Day 2 was online with a group presentation tasks and current intern coffee chats.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I really enjoyed learning about the different sectors and it helped me a lot because I gained insight into which sectors may interest me and whether I want to pursue a career in finance.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Really, really good! Everyone seemed super friendly and it was really refreshing to see that the finance roles were not male-dominated. I could tell everyone was extremely supportive of their colleagues growth and they really stood up to their "Championing Potential" purpose.
