Spring Insight Programme Review

Both the HR team and the employees were always willing to help and to answer any questions. Even after I finished the programme I have been in contact with some employees that have continued assisting me.

During the week I learned a lot about the banking industry and also realised how important are all the things I am learning at uni .

What I like the most about this programme was all the opportunities we got to talk to people from the bank. From analysists to MDs everyone was willing to help and we had a lot of networking events both formal and informal that were extremely helpful.

I really appreciate that the company is organizing this programme as we are not useful to the bank as first year students, so I really feel they are investing in my development as a professional.

During the week we had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions to full-time employees but we also had work-shadowing with a person in our preferred division. During that time you really get the impression of what it is like to work in BoAML as a full-time employee.

Being in the bank for a week really makes you feel how the relation between the employees is. I realized the structure was pretty flat and comments made by people that had been working in different institutions helped me understand the differences between them all.

This week has really affected my idea of what I want to do in the future. I know what the different divisions do accurately and I have discovered opportunities that I hadn't even considered before.

Not only did we have the opportunity to meet recent graduates but we also spent a lot of time networking and talking to more senior employees that could tell us about their long and successful careers.

We had both formal and informal networking opportunities (welcome drinks, lunch, breakfasts, dinner...) and I think they were the most useful thing of the programme as you really get to ask all the questions you may have and know more about the industry and the bank from its employees directly.

We had the opportunity to meet with different network representatives that told us about activities they are involved with (sports, volunteering...)

I think the programme is extremely useful to get to know more about the industry. Also if you don't know exactly which division or role would better suit you I would definately recommend to take part in the Spring Week. It is a great opportunity to know like-minded students from all across EMEA and gives you an idea of what a full-time positions would be like.
