    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured in terms of giving valuable guidance, however lacked structure in assessing the candidates for the summer internship. I did not feel my skill or attributes were tested enough.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Great environment amongst J P Morgan staff, however very competitive and sometimes false atmosphere among other interns.

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

    • Very personal training whilst there, however I feel a longer intern would have been more valuable and a better opportunity.

    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?

    • Gave great knowledge of different areas of the bank and what it would be like to work in the different areas, which was extremely useful. However, I feel sometimes the negatives of working in the job were covered up or hidden, which made me question what it would be like to actually work there.

    4/5
