    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The Spring Internship was fantastic. The people, the culture, the teamwork, make Goldman Sachs a place where you really want to work.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt very valued. It was demonstrated by the organised events, catering, and genuinely helpful employees. At Goldman everyone is valued, everyone is willing to help you, and everyone has an input.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • In the first week all of our events were organised. In the second week it was up to us to organise many things, such as networking. However, if you were well organised and planned, you could make the most of that opportunity, and fill your schedule.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • During the internship I not only learnt things that will be beneficial in an investment bank, but also everywhere else. They really know how to help you develop your own personal brand.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The first week was extremely well structured. The second week was largely up to you to make the most of it.

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

    • Amazing. Everyone gave a 100% and the team spirit was definitely there.

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

    • Goldman invests a lot in its employees and interns, and trust me, it shows.

    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?

    • I'm giving this an 8, because although the work shadowing was extremely insightful, we didn't always have the exposure to the practical side.

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

    • Attend the spring internship and you will know the culture well.

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

    • Very. I don't want to work for anyone else.

    5/5
