Thanks for sharing your story! Brilliant to hear how the well the grad scheme served you.
I didn't get the opportunity to go through a graduate scheme, my first role was just 'graduate level', which later found wasn't the same as a graduate scheme. That being said, I've been doing a lot of talks in Universities, recently, trying to inspire people to look at graduate schemes! It's such an important transition period, having the support network around truly facilitates your own growth.
Also, it's great when you find a large company that sees you as a person. I'm not quite at 400,000 employees, but my current company is 16,000+ employees, and our large office in Glasgow has around 500 of those. You're absolutely right - it is so great that people still find the time to learn your name, and say hi. It's one of the things that shocked me most working in a big company, and it boils down to a great company culture.
