  • 9a. Would you recommend M&G to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • The staff were helpful not only at the insights event but also through the apprenticeship recruitment process which I have now applied for. Everything was well organised and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and gain more information if needed. The office was a welcoming environment which appreciated its employees and is very helpful to students.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to M&G?
  • Make sure you do some research before applying so you know as much as you can about the company itself and the programme your specifically applying for, so that you know it’s right for you. When going through the recruitment process, make sure you give specific examples to their questions so they can learn more about you aswell.
