    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • It was an incredible insight, I really enjoyed it. Unlike may other banks, we had the chance to be in the firm for two weeks, which I felt gave us a true insight into the division and the firm.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • People are so great in this firm, they really want to help you and teach you. There wasn't one person I asked to meet for coffee who worked at the firm, who said no.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • So much guidance and support, everyone at the firm really wants to help the interns and teach them.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I wouldnt say that the skills I received helped me with my degree at all, but they definitely really helped me with life and with what I want to do in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I cannot fault the structure of this insight. Given the fact that bankers schedules change all the time, it was surprising how perfect the schedule was, to every half an hour.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Great, the interns were a bit competitive

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They properly invested by ensuring we were able to speak to a lot of people in the firm, including really senior people.

    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?
  • It is very confidential so was hard to really understand, but they did their best.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • 2 weeks made that happen. Had it been 1 week, I do not think I would have really understood the culture.

    5/5

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

    5/5
