Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had the chance to realize various tasks: From putting together teasers to long-term projects that involved creating a standardized FactSet driven pre-IFRS 16 long term trading over the cycle excel file.
I really enjoyed working at Rothschild. I was challenged a lot and every task was a learning experience.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was. They would assess how you are preforming with simple tasks at first and then give you more and more responsibility as time goes by.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
- I became more detail-oriented and concise because every work handed in had to be mistake free and straight to the point
- I loved working on my problem solving skills, especially when I had to create an excel database (create very complex formulas, account for every exceptions and automate the whole process using just Excel)
- I became more sociable in a working environment (asking for coffee chats, participating in work events...)

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The hierarchy is flat and the atmosphere is very laid back. It is so easy to feel part of the team because people are very welcoming and nice.
As it is a very busy team, it's a "work hard play hard" kind of culture
