    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We took part in work shadowing (4 hours in total), group project work as well as presentations and it was clear that a lot of time and effort had been taken into planning the programme.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • During work shadowing (4 hours in total), I got a real idea of what life would be like within Rothschild and the fact that the culture isn't quite what I would have expected, but a lot more friendly. I really got a sense of the family feel as everyone was very willing to help.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Extremely friendly and open culture, not intimidating at all (which is what I expected before hand!). Can really tell that it is a 'family bank'.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Extremely valuable, learnt a lot about the different types of advisory Rothschild are involved in as well as other projects they are involved with.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Got the chance to meet employees during networking lunch, afternoon tea and work shadowing. Also, employees were very open to answering questions even after the networking events, by meeting us if they had time or email.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Very good, staff were very happy to be there and answer questions. At the networking tea, there was a 'speed dating' type thing, which meant we got to speak to a variety of staff from different departments and floors from within Rothschild.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Found out a few activities such as football club and other charity events they get involved in.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Great opportunity! It was really informative as well as the fact that I got to meet lots of new people, learn a lot about the Rothschild culture as well as picked up some technical skills which I did not know about before!

    5/5
