Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had presentation of the various teams, case studies and a training session that prepared us for the group project we had to present on our final day. We also had some networking sessions with current employees and have been paired with a buddy for the program.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The presentations were really clear, but the networking sessions were the best way to understand the business and the several divisions and teams. In particular, the employees have been really nice and sincere with us, allowing us to gain a good understanding of Rothschild
