    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We were given presentations from the different business areas of: Multi-Asset, Equity Research and Fixed Income. Each day focussed on a different one and then we had to do a group presentation on a case study of each. We networked with business representatives and graduates to hear about their roles. The early careers team did presentation on the roles available and routes into them. There were also talks on company culture and CSR.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Communication skills - working in teams with people you had never met before virtually. Adaptability - each presentation task was different so having to learn new things and being able to research and present on them developed this skill. Research and Analysis - similarly having to research and find information from a variety of sources and analyse the useful parts

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Experience was virtual so hard to gauge company culture. However all employees from our sessions were friendly and keen to answer questions. From the talks about company life it seems inclusive and takes factors such as family life and mental health into account.
