Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
4 day virtual programme where current employees introduced us to the Rothschild archives, their commitment to the community, diversity in the workplace, different divisions, as well as interactions with analysts.
We also carried out a group project which we presented on the final day to a panel of bankers and received feedback.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was exciting and interesting to learn about Rothschild and the potential roles. The analysts who spoke to us and presented their divisions were insightful, honest, and inspiring!
We were also given briefing sessions on the next steps that followed our Spring Insight.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
The virtual experience was extremely enjoyable. They provided a sufficient number of breaks and always ensured that we had the opportunity to ask HR questions following the morning brief.
The presentations were clear and easy to follow however, a longer session may be advisable in the future to ask more questions.
There was always the opportunity to network and create contacts with analysts at the firm.
