Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight day was two and a half hours that consisted of tasks from MUFG employees, intimate networking sessions and a Q&A panel session with senior associates.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very exciting because I really felt as though the business was suitable for me in terms of the company culture. There were multiple routes into the company which were intriguing and, for me, it is definitely worthy of an application.

4/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company had a very relaxed atmosphere relative to other banks. The hours seemed to not be as long and the general treatment of colleagues appeared to be a lot healthier. Employees from MUFG said this was due to the bank’s roots as a Japanese bank with the concept of respect being pivotal.

To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
I enjoyed learning about the culture and the opportunities at the company itself as everything I heard was very positive in itself. It would’ve have been even better if the experience was in person which is my only criticism.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to MUFG
To network with employees at the firm and find out about the culture and whether it is right for you. This is by no means a typical investment bank and so it is worth getting that insight before applying.
