    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed myself. Had a lot of fun with the team that I was placed with and fellow students.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The team was very welcoming. They took time to get to know me and learn how much I understood about their division before setting me tasks. At the end they put back time in their schedule to review my work, giving tips on how to improve. The company paid for all lunches and travel expenses.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • As much or as little as I needed. My team were on hand to answer any questions I had about working life or about the tasks they set me. I was also constantly being asked if I wanted a coffee or a chance to meet various employees so that I could hear their point of view too.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My degree is a science degree, so I didn't learn anything specific apart from computer modelling on Excel. The communication, networking skills and financial insight I gained, however, was invaluable and I will definitely be using those in future.

    4/5
