    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I think it was really well structured, but the lunch times maybe could be improved with longer lunch times. But because of how much we get exposed to I think that lunch is just a compromise and I definitely feel like it was worth it.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Short week, so reimbursement doesn't really matter. The things you learn from this experience definitely worth more than the reimbursement.

  • Yea, there were alot of networking opportunity. Ranging from actual networking events, but also having one on one time when work shadowing employees in different departments.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • I think they were alright. There were quite of alot of people from differents areas. CIB, technology and infrastructure, so i feel like maybe there could be some separation so there are better chances of socialing and networking with the people in your division.

    4/5

  • Yea, birthday parties, sports, assessments, alot of different varieties of activities that employees can get involved outside of work.
