    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • My time at Rothschild was fantastic. The HR team put together an action packed programme which was the perfect balance between project work, work shadowing and learning about the bank. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and everyone in the office made me feel very welcome. It is certainly somewhere I recommend applying!
