    About You

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

    • It was insightful into Retail and Commercial banking. With a group case study to go through it provided some further insight, however, it was full of talks which sometimes were not engaging.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • They really wanted us to see what Lloyds had to offer and for us to want to continue and apply after the day.

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

    • There was not much needed, however, some questions asked were not answered fully.

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

    • Nothing contributed to my degree, but it gave me an idea about a career at Lloyds.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The day followed a structure which was rigid in some areas preventing further questions

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

    • Very friendly place to work for, all very welcoming.

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

    • It was a day which consisted of mainly talks...there could have been more interaction maybe? The talk was only from HR and then a woman who has been there for many years. It was good, but would have been nice hearing from each department and an example of their work.

    3/5
  • 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?

    • Again, the only insight to what the company and positions do came from graduates that had to rotate every 10 minutes, therefore, I did not fully get everything.

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

    • You could see they valued their employees and were welcoming as I said before.

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

    • It was helpful, as I said more variation and time would have been nice, but I will apply now after not considering it as a career.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I believe you could be reimbursed.

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

    • Not really much time, it was a strict time limit, and at lunch there were very few/if any employees to talk to.

    3/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • There were none.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes considering the flexibility of Lloyds it made people speak positively about out of work activities.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes, it was good and gives a clear picture of a career at Lloyds. Also, considering it is for 1st years, it is worth going and just seeing
