    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We had sessions throughout the 4-day programme, all of which being very interactive. There were some very helpful technical and soft skills training as well as insights into all of the major divisions within Rothschild & Co. I was also able to get to know others on the programme whilst working on the group project. There are numerous networking opportunities that give you a personal insight into what life at Rothschild & Co looks like.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • The programme was perfect for giving an insight into all the different business areas that make up Rothschild & Co. Although our programme was focused on Global Advisory, we also had an introduction to the Wealth Management business. The recruitment team were extremely helpful in informing us of the opportunities available and hosted sessions to help us prepare for the Summer Analyst assessment centre.

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • The people at the firm are incredibly warm and generous with their time. It seemed as though every senior banker I came across had been at the firm since their analyst years. The firm has a long history of giving back to the communities they serve and continue to do so today, with initiatives such as pro bono advisory.
