    About You

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

    • I think the only thing that would make it better would be if we had more shadowing sessions

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

    • People took time out of their day to day work to come and tell us about their roles. It felt really good to see that they do value potential interns

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

    • There were no stupid questions and everybody was willing to answer anything you had. I really enjoyed the openness.

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

    • As this was just 3 days I imagine I could develop a lot more with more time.

    5/5

    The Company

    • Perhaps the timing could have been better, but the days went super smoothly

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

    • I really don't have anything bad to say about this.

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

    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?

    • More shadow sessions would help with this

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

    • I could tell everybody was relaxed and yet still professional, which was a nice atmosphere

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

    • I had initially only considered consulting but spending the insight here has truly given some food for thought.

    • An entire evening dedicated to networking is perfect

    5/5

    • Plenty of opportunities!

    5/5
