    3/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The senior members were very forthright and helpful and the panel session was very insightful and gave us lots of advice. I was able to spend time on desks with many employees who were very helpful in supporting my career choices and academic decisions thus far.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The program gave me a much clearer understanding of the buy side of investment strategy and a better view of the macroeconomic situation at the time. It was also a great insight into trading that is often overlooked by firms.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It wasn't especially well structured because I was there on an ad hoc basis. But it still provided me with ample time with employees and senior members across the floor.

    2/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was light hearted and relaxed but also very informative which was a great balance to strike for those of us visiting.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Due to the short period of time there wasn't very much time devoted to personal training. It was mainly an opportunity for discussion, networking and education.

    2/5

  • 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?
  • The senior employees were very open about the graduate scheme and helped us understand how they had reached their own positions - thereby helping us as well. They also put us in touch with HR who followed up with a more detailed appraisal.

    3/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Everyone we met was very open and relaxed during discussions and were very honest. This was very helpful and gave us all a positive impression of the company.

    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?
  • Apart from on the office floor, opportunities were limited due to time constraints.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • As mentioned, these were very limited so a fair assessment cannot be reached.

    2/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Due to the nature of the insight, this question was not posed.

    2/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Despite its brevity, it was an invaluable insight into JPMorgan Asset Management and a great chance to learn more about investment management from an industry leader.

    4/5
