    About You

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

    • It was a great insight. It was well organised, the people were really friendly and I learned a lot.

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

    • People were very honest. They answered your question with a very personal touch, so that you could get a genuine insight on what it would be like to work there. The employees were very helpful and were happy to stay in touch afterwards.

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

    • We knew most of the time what was going on. Sometimes there was a bit of confusion, but generally everything was fine.

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

    • I'm sure that in the future, what I've learned will be helpful. On the other hand it was less about gaining skills then getting an overview on what RBS does.

    4/5

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

    • We were split up into teams of 2. The graduates concentrated on us and we felt like we were the centre of their attention.

    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?

    • Absolutely. I could tell everyone now what a graduate/intern would do.

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

    • I feel like I really know RBS now.

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

    • I knew already beforehand that I don't want to go into banking, but if YOU want to go into banking, then that's the bank to go for.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • They would've reimbursed everything, if I lived outside of London.

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

    • Staff were happy to come along on the last day of the spring week.

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

    • In a 5-day programme, there were 3 networking events, which is more than you could hope for.

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

    • They are endless. You can do sports, volunteering, other projects.

    5/5
