    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?

    • Amex ensured to provide a brilliantly impactful experience despite it being virtual, and whilst it was definitely a shame not to be in the office, I still really enjoyed my 6 weeks and learned so much.

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

    • Despite not being in the office physically surrounded by others, my team and wider members of Amex made sure to take the time to get to know me and support me throughout my internship.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the virtual experience?

    • My line manager was fantastic at providing me with the support I needed every step of the way despite being at a distance in the virtual environment. Everyone that I met at my time at American Express was so approachable and constantly offering their support and time.

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

    • Coming from a non-finance background, I found the internship an amazingly well structured, supported and encouraging learning curve, experience, and foot into the finance world.

    The Company

    • The internship, particularly considering the virtual circumstances, was brilliantly structured and planned out, giving a very impactful experience.

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the culture of the company, and one of the best parts was meeting so many talented and driven people and learning about their career journeys.

    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 virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Amex I think gave the best possible insight into working at the company considering that we weren't able to go into the office, although a virtual experience is never going to be a true representation of office work life.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the virtual experience help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Throughout the six weeks there was a lot of emphasis on the company culture, which is definitely a culture I would love to work in.

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

    • 5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Despite being a virtual experience, there was a lot of encouragement to network and reach out to people, which was also pretty much always well received. I would have liked to have done this more, which I know would have been easier had we been able to go into the office.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • 5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • 5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this virtual experience to a friend?

    • I would 100% recommend this virtual experience. I have really enjoyed my summer at American Express which has flown by. I have learned so much and loved seeing my own progress, while also gaining such valuable experience and meeting so many great people.
