    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The insight day at M&GPrudential was extremely valuable and enjoyable. I found it highly informative, as it gave unique insights into the selection process and the key features of large divisions at M&GPrudential. The event was also engaging, by involving us in an investment game and giving us the opportunity to network with employees of M&GPrudential and the HR. It was definitely the most useful insight day I have attended.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • This was an insight day so this question may not really apply to it. However, I feel valued as I was aware that they were listening to my questions and concerns and genuinely wanted to help me and the other students.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Again, this was an insight day so this question may not really apply to it. However, I received information and insights useful for my application.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The information I received, especially during the networking session over lunch, is extremely useful to me for the application process.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight day was really well structured and alternated the investment game with presentations. Time flew by with a very tight schedule.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere was friendly and energetic. All the speakers, whether junior or more senior, were really engaging: they shared their knowledge and experience with passion.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Again this was only an insight day so I didn't have huge expectations on the firm to invest in me. However, I greatly appreciated the time they dedicated to us and the passion they showed.

    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 believe that the employees who joined the networking session, as well as the speakers and the HR, gave a fair picture of the culture of the firm and the life at M&GPrudential. I was impressed by the passion they showed.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Same as above. The networking event was particularly useful to understand the real company culture.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The content of the day was well balanced and really useful to make up my mind on my career path.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • This was an insight day so I did not expect to be paid for it.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There was a networking session during lunch and plenty of other opportunities to raise questions to speakers and HR.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • A very good number of employees joined the networking session over lunch and they were available to answer questions and give insights about the application process or the life at M&G Prudential.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I found out about team activities during presentations and it showed the real team spirit. Apart from that, I don't know of any other activities such as volunteering day. However, I'm sure that if any of us had raised this question they would have given us more information about this.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend this insight day to any student and, indeed, I have already recommended it to people at my University. Compared to other insight days I have attended in the past, I found the M&GPrudential insight day extremely informative and useful, especially in terms of networking with M&GPrudential employees.

    5/5
