Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Panel discussions, presentations from senior bankers, collaborative work on a team project (M&A, Energy Sector focus), 2-to-1 talk with an Analyst and talks with affinity groups and empowerment organisations.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Everything was so well planned and organised such that there were multiple opportunities and formats to ask questions and understand the company. It was really warming to hear that there was strong support for entrepreneurship and such a strong collegiate culture at Rothschild. Everyone was extremely helpful. It would have been great if it was in person however this was out of anyone's control so really not a negative at all!

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Definitely. Learned a great deal about Global Advisory and Rothschild & Co's long standing history (through the archive tour). Developed teamwork, time management and communication skills through the group project. Worked on my analytical skills through listening to presentations and the IAmRemarkable session taught me the skill of self promoting.

Company Culture
How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight
5/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Incredibly collegiate, understanding and inclusive. The push for diversity and the fact that everyone who spoke really understood the value of it was extremely empowering. Through talking to my buddy, I found out that many weekends are protected so the family-run culture of the firm does come through in these ways. The Archive Tour was extremely interesting as it gave me a deeper appreciation of the historical significance of the firm and the office.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed the programme a great deal! I only wish that it has been in person as I feel that stronger connections could have been made but again this was not within anyone's control so cannot really criticise this.
