    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Interesting at points, but even leaving aside the slightly dull content, there were times when the organisation/projects we were given weren't great.

    3/5

    • I felt that RBS did value our presence and clearly invested a lot in these programmes.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • A fair amount.

    2/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It's certainly confirmed this isn't a field I would willingly head into.

    2/5

    The Company

    • Great.

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

    • Not much - we worked around them.

    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?

    • Got a good flavour of work.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Couldn't help but feel there was something of a smokescreen up for our benefit.

    2/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Hugely so.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Yet to be done, however.

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

    • Yes, drinks events.

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

    • Very good.

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

    • Not really.

    1/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • It's subjective - I didn't enjoy it, but that's probably because it's not a field I would go into.
