    The Company

    4/5

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    4/5
  • 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 got a good idea given the numerous case studies and exercises which we were given.

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

    Everything Else

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

    • Only travel expenses were reimbursed.

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

    • There weren't too many informal networking sessions. Usually this occurred over a short bite to eat between tasks!

    2/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • As this was an insight there weren't many. I can imagine that there would be many more during the internship.

    2/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • I heard about the usual football and rugby clubs but nothing too exotic unfortunately.
