Business Insight
Enlightening, the training provided was very thorough and the details about the firms inner working was best delivered through not only the supervisors, but the sessions that the firm organised for individual insights were invaluable, always with the opportunity to ask questions. No stone was left unturned.
Culture
Extremely friendly. Regardless of seniority people were more than happy to take time out to speak to you to answer questions if they had the availability. Huge strides being made on a social mobility perspective which is important personally to me and it is good that the firm does a good job in not only fostering, but highlighting the values it stands for.
Your Impressions
It was a very enjoyable 2 weeks. I took full advantage of all the opportunities that were there for me and learned as much as I could from the experts that were there. I learned a lot of information that couldn't be googled, which is ideally where an candidate will get the most value out of a scheme such as this.
Yes
