Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Learned about the different components of global advisory, wealth management. Attended an array of useful skill workshops and worked with other participants of a group project which was presented to industry professionals at the end.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very insightful as I had not realised how many different roles there were in global advisory and it was interesting hearing from each different speaker about their career progressions at Rothschild & Co.

Company Culture
How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight
5/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
As a family run business, the culture was very different to other banks. For example, the structure was very flat so that there was lots of opportunity for newly introduced workers to interact with higher level people in the bank. The atmosphere was encouraging and I felt like there was lots of support for employees to develop and build their skillset.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
