    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • It is amazing how much effort and money as well they spend on us, despite the fact that we have not even got an offer for internship or graduate job!

    5/5

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Maybe a little more rest time!

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

    • Everyone is very energetic, very friendly!

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

    • As it was just three days, but we felt so welcomed. We had all meals prepared for us, a single room each (thought it'd be double room instead).

    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?

    • Got chances to talk to different analysts, consultants, HR and even Managing Directors. Definitely enhanced my understanding.

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

    • Everyone loved the culture and told us about it - but of course people will only say good things I suppose!

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • I always knew I wanted to be a consultant.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • It was a three day event, accommodation and food paid for you.

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

    • Networking is like the theme of the event to be honest. You get breaks between activities for tea and coffee which was networking break. Every night after all the activities, everyone then goes to the bar together - optional but very good opportunity for networking as we know!

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

    • We are at the bar every single night, getting to know each other on a more personal level. An opportunity to get to know people, such as MDs you otherwise will definitely not get the chance to know.

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

    • It was three days non-stop activities but that was the purpose of the scheme so not really applicable.

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

    • It would be helpful to anyone at all considering Business or Finance related careers. So much skills learning and an opportunity to get to know people, such as MDs you otherwise will definitely not get the chance to know.
