Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A lecture introduction to NatWest's purpose led business with some interactive elements. Opportunities to learn about our area of specialisation from people working in that area and from graduates. Many networking opportunities through breakout rooms.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very handy hearing from employees and graduates directly. Couldn't get a full view (I.e. by being in the office and observing) but this would've been difficult over zoom. Would've been nice to have been given tasks related to the roles to really learn about the area.

Go for it. It was very helpful and a good place to start with banking. Ask any questions, and make lots of notes/take pictures of the slides as it is all great content for the interviews in the assessment centre stage.
