Pros
The Alumni Scheme provides great access to the investment banking sector. Salary and benefits are excellent and comparable with the sector you are working in. Always felt supported whilst on my placement, as especially initially, it is a challenging position. The Company put a lot of effort into engagement. We have bi yearly appraisals and quarterly events plus a great Christmas and Summer party! Overall it has been a fantastic two years and I am sad to leave but feel prepared for my future in the industry!
Cons
Although the Company put a lot of effort into engagement, it still sometimes feels a bit disconnected but this is to be expected as you work on client site. I would have liked to have been offered more information about staying on with the Company after my two years sooner as I was sad to leave.
