    5/5

    5/5

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Packed with activities, seminars and workshops! Not any time to hang around and wonder what to do.

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

    • Relaxed but 'hungry' people. Rothschild did a brilliant job at recruiting the students!

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

    • A lot. Was able to shadow very senior people which wouldn't have been possible at most other places.

    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?

    • Somewhat. You'll never really know what it's like before you do it though!

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Much more than I anticipated.

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

    • I already knew this is what I want to do so there was very little added value with regards to career choice for me.

    1/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Lived nearby so no need for this.

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

    • The packed schedule had some set networking sessions, but it was also possible to do this while shadowing or at lunch.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • As far as networking goes they were good. I find that that can be a bit awkward from time to time wherever you are.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes. Gym and Football.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • If they want to get to know more about the culture then definitely. If not sure about the industry it might not be for them.
