Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was an in depth induction on the first day, we then joined two seats for 1 day each during the week, with a group assessment on the last day and a final interview the following week for the TC.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We were given the opportunity to talk with people at many different levels of the firm from trainees to the CEO which provided a wide insight to the firm.
