    Everything Else

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

    • Paid a small salary for the two weeks and if you had travel expenses they reimbursed you. Also, if you don't live in London they will put you up in an accomodation.

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

    • They had only a few networking opportunities, and could have had more so that we could meet more employees. But really the networking came down to you continuing the relationship with people you met.

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

    • We met with the affinity groups, had an analyst lunch and some MD Q&A sessions so we met a variety of people.

    4/5

    • They told us a lot about their programs for community volunteering, of which they have many.
