    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • There was a timetable that was provided at the start of the insight and there was always enough time to for all the presenters to field questions at the end.

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

    • Everyone else was really enthusiastic and friendly which made it easier to ask "stupid questions" to the business representatives.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There were a lot of senior people who came and networked with us and did not seem like they had to be there but wanted to speak to us.

    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?

    • We were told about the type of work that was involved in a "typical day".

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Meeting so many people from across the bank definitely provided a strong sense of the culture of the bank.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
