Analyst Review

As part of the Apprenticeship scheme, I worked as an Analyst at RBS and my role involved supporting my Line Manager with a portfolio of Professional Services Clients. Daily tasks can be solving client queries via email/phone, getting involved in key aspects of deal, preparing meeting briefs/pitchbooks and liaising with other teams across RBS to open and close accounts.

I feel that my confidence has grown over the course of the scheme as I have interacted with key stakeholders across the bank and also with clients on a regular basis. I have been given a lot of support and guidance to help develop a better understanding of the banking sector. RBS truly believe in investing in their people so there are courses and support available for anyone willing to learn and develop their skills. There are also many networking events within RBS. I have enrolled onto to a few courses which has helped in getting a better understanding of key aspects of my job and in helping to understand our client base so we can ultimately offer the right products and solutions to them.

I enjoy working at RBS and feel valued in my team. My team have been very supportive and have provided me with various opportunities to grow and learn within my role.

I feel very valued at RBS. My team were very welcoming on my first day in the Bank and I have always felt supported ever since I have joined the bank. My Manager has always been very helpful and I feel that my manager is very appreciative of the work I complete - always gives me feedback on the work that I have done well and any areas that I could improve. I am also praised by other team members for work on projects etc. Over the course of the programme, I became involved with complex tasks and projects which has helped me to devleop professionally.
