    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured. The use of the Guidebook was brilliant and ensured that every candidate knew the structure of the programme almost two weeks in advance!

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Very friendly, HR ensured the atmosphere was welcoming and productive.

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I felt that the firm invested in my development greatly. The small size of the programme ensured that individual attention could be paid easily.

    5/5
  • 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?

    • To some extent. It is always difficult to truly understand the culture, especially as a women's only programme. The work shadowing did help.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • To some extent. The nature of the programme limited the ability of this.

    3/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Valuable. Good access to different divisions.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Travel expenses. All food paid for.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes. Different opportunities.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • They would have benefited from being more structured networking sessions. Need for social events to mix within the group as a whole.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • To some extent.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes, for those who are interested in the industry or unsure. If you are certain about the industry and perhaps the division, a more specific programme with both genders would be better.
