Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were able to discover the different divisions within the Global Advisory department: M&A, debt advisory, equity advisory the new small mid cap team of Rothschild & Co and to understand more in depth their different missions on a daily basis.
We also had a very interesting training on the basics of investment banking and a lot of workshops to reinforce our hard and soft skills in this regard.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I felt a lot of kindness and encouragement from the organizers but also from the juries during the interviews.
I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the youth teams and especially by their availability to answer all our questions. The people with whom I was able to network also showed a lot of honesty towards me by explaining both the positive and negative points of the job which was very helpful and respectable.
The teams at Rothschild & Co are teams where transparency and honesty prevail. A studious atmosphere where excellence and performance reign, and at the same time a very friendly atmosphere with smiling and helpful teams
