    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The spring week at J.P Morgan was very useful and I really enjoyed it. It exceeded my expectations and there was a lot of useful information and great events during the insight week. It is a great way to get to know more about the company and network with current company employees.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone was very nice to all of us but since this was just a 3-day insight event, this question isn't really applicable.

    3/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There was a lot of support during the whole insight event. There were always people around to help us with anything we needed or answer our questions. We also had a session dedicated to asking questions and getting tips which I found very useful. Everyone was very nice and helpful while we were there.

    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 learned a lot about the company and what kind of work I would be doing so that will help me in the future when I wasn't to apply for different positions in the firm and we received a lot of advice and tips about the recruitment process and different internships which was very useful.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight event was very well planned out and structured. All three days were packed full of activities but we also had breaks to relax for a little bit. All of the events were very well planned out and everything was always on time and on schedule which meant that we got to do everything that was planned for us.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was great. The social events in the evenings were very fun and helpful with getting to know the other interns and even the recruiters who organised the insight event. The events during the day were always interesting and there were a lot of fun activities where we got to socialise a lot with the other interns and even some graduates.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • This is not really applicable since this was only 3 days.

    3/5

  • 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?
  • The insight week was great in terms of showing me what it is like to work at J.P Morgan in technology. There were a lot of speakers that told us about it as well as graduates who we had a panel with. We also got to shadow some graduates and this really showed us what it is like to work at the company and this was very useful. We also got to network with senior staff in technology which was very interesting and informative.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • We got to shadow a few graduates and network with a lot of the senior staff that work in technology. This really helped us understand the work culture at J.P Morgan since we could ask them any questions about the culture or work life at the company and we could see it for ourselves while work shadowing.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I found it very useful and helpful since I got to see what it is really like to work at J.P Morgan in technology and I talked to current employees and graduates to see whether I would see myself there in a few years. The event organisers had a lot of great events that gave us a lot of opportunities to figure out if we want to work at J.P Morgan or if a job in technology is for us.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was not paid, but my accommodation, which was a great Hotel, was paid for and all of my travel expenses were reimbursed and even my international flights were paid for by J.P Morgan. This was great since I live far away and still got to experience the insight event.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • there were lots of opportunities to network. We had a senior networking lunch, talked to a lot of graduates and shadowed them. At the senior networking lunch, we talked to a lot of senior staff members at J.P Morgan who work in technology and this was very informative adn useful.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Great as stated above and in a few of my other answers. This was very well planned and there were a lot of networking opportunities and opportunities to ask questions. The social events were also very well organised and I really enjoyed them and got to socialise with a lot of the interns and employees.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, we found out about a lot of the activities that employees can do, like charity events or sports and a lot of other activities. The social and networking events allowed us to ask the current employees a lot of questions about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work and I found this very helpful.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend the insight to everyone who is interested in a career in technology at J.P Morgan. This was a very useful insight event and even though it was only 3 days, I found it very helpful and it helped me understand a lot more about the company and what it would be like to work there.

    5/5
