  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The insight week is extremely well organised and the lecturer explains things very well. All people from J.P. Morgan are really kind, helpful and enthusiastic about their jobs, they gave us insights with respect to the company, application process, entry position, graduation program etc. In addition, other candidates are really smart and from diverse background, diverse culture, which makes the interactions definitely interesting and enriching. All the lectures were recorded and so we could go back an rewatch.

  • During the week, we are constantly valued by employees from J.P. Morgan at every levels. Not only employees but also our colleagues which value your work and your questions.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • We are always helped, guided and supported by people responsible for the insight week like HRs, Team Leaders and presenters. Not only them but also every employees from J.P. Morgan, we meet during the week and even current interns. They answer all of our questions and usually go beyond our interrogations. This insight week is meant to teach us basic knowledge about the Investment banking (as we are in the non-Finance into Finance subsection of all insight programmes)

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During the insight week, we are trained every day on various topics related to J.P. Morgan , J.P. Morgan Terminal and Finance. I knew nothing in Finance, but I was really interested in, and at the end of the week, I learnt so much. Also, they teach us many functionalities on the J.P.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The Insight Week is perfectly structured. We are given at the beginning of the week a scheduled which is really packed. The order of activities and workshops is well designed since something learnt in the morning of day n, will be used in the afternoon of day n, and in day n+1 etc. Although the program does have a clear structure, the company did not think about students from different time zone, which means I have to stay up late.

  • The atmosphere of the insight week is really friendly and we really feel that all the people from J.P. Morgan are here to support us to learn more about J.P. Morgan, finance, and also to get an internship. The other candidates are just awesome and really friendly. It is easy to exchange with them. All employees from all different sectors within J.P. Morgan are very kind and I can feel their enthusiasm for their job

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I am convinced that J.P. Morgan did invest a lot in our training just for the week. Basically, this week is just about training in Investment banking, finance, software engineering related topics, finance, sales, and careers related topics. Also, in interpersonal development. For example, we had several events to socialise and to network with currents interns and employees. The company also sent me many links to meeting after the insight spring week so we can learn more

  • 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?
  • It was one of the purpose I applied to this week. In fact, it was really insightful and interesting. I realised that in fact, a career path at J.P. Morgan is not generically defined, but you have to define it by yourself. So they cannot really define it for you, they always mention that you have to make your own path at J.P. Morgan. I confirmed my thought about going to work in finance sector .

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The insight week made me understand perfectly the J.P. Morgan's culture. We even had a specific presentations on this, and we had everyday recalls on their culture and what they really value. This is really insightful since the website cannot provide such informations. I think that this week is essential to really understand J.P. Morgan's culture and values. I meet a lot of employees and they really helped me to see a clearer picture about the culture.

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The content of the week was definitely essential. And this is why I applied to this week. I was hesitating between Global Data and Analytics and Sales, but after all the presentations, exchanging with employees and even the other candidates, I managed to make a clear choice about which department I was suiting to. I learned knowledge about different sectors within J.P. Morgan and this opportunity really helped me to see which specific sector do I want to work in the future.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Everything is taken in charge by J.P. Morgan . From traveling from your home (Eurostar for me) to London, to accommodation (we were in a hotel a roughly one mile away from the office). They also provide some prepaid tickets for food, and they pay for activities during the week (we had a party for example).


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • The summer insight week is all about networking, socialising with employees and candidates. We had for example a networking event with the current interns and summer insight week interns from past years. Also, every people you meet is keen to give you more informations and keep in touch with you. Networking and social events were amazing. In particular, we had this party at Bounce with other interns and summer insight week candidates which was absolutely awesome.

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Networking and social events were amazing. In particular, we had this party at Bounce with other interns and summer insight week candidates which was absolutely awesome. Everything is taken in charge by J.P Morgan. In addition to this, we had a networking evening at the end of the week with a very nice buffet. I would definitely recommend this to friends and I have already done it. There are many activities that employees can get involved in outside of work, but those activities are for permanent employees, not the summer insight week interns.

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • There are many activities that employees can get involved in outside of work, but those activities are for permanent employees, not the summer insight week interns. However, they mentioned it several times through presentation, and in particular during the J.P's culture presentation in which they presented the different communities and philanthropy activities. I would definitely recommend this to friends and I have already done it. This week is an amazing opportunity to discover J.P. and to get fast track to the best internship. Also, it teaches candidates so many insights regarding careers and job applications, finance world and other topics generally useful.
