    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, and I was never bored. The areas I experienced were interesting, although I might have liked to spend longer in each seat.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone encouraged me to ask questions, and was always willing to provide an explanation. I also got one on one time with employees that I've never received anywhere else.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • If I had any problems, I only needed to mention it and someone would address the issue.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I was introduced to areas I had never studied before but would be studying next year. The work I did was not really applicable to me now, but I found it very interesting and the commercial awareness sections were extremely useful.

    4/5

    The Company

    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?
  • Time constraints were a problem here, but I garnered a reasonable idea of what life would be like as a trainee at the firm, although I couldn't gain a huge amount of experience from a week long scheme. It was still extremely useful though.

    4/5

    4/5
