    4/5

    • Felt very welcome and that I was able to ask any questions that I had.

    5/5

    • Plenty opportunities to ask questions to either the emerging talent team or current graduates.

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

    • Didn't really develop any skills, however received lots of information about the company and the application process for internships and the graduate programme.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Was good to hear from the emerging talent team, a current employee and current graduates. Some parts of the day did seem to go on for a bit longer than perhaps necessary.

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

    • Relatively relaxed once everyone had settled in.

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

    • As the insight only lasted a day there wasn't really the opportunity to develop any skills although there was the chance to take part in a mock group assessment.

    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?

    • Heard from a current employee and graduates about their first hand experiences.

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

    • Again hearing from current employees and graduates about their first hand experience was a good insight.

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

    • Gave me a lot of information to go away and think about whether I want a career in banking.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Only an insight day so not paid and lived locally so did not require travel expenses to be reimbursed.

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

    • Got to chat with current graduates and other people on the insight day during lunch.

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

    • As only an insight day for students wasn't necessarily the need for networking.

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

    • Learnt about charity work you can get involved with and the social scene between the graduates.

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

    • A good insight if you are considering a career within Lloyds or the banking sector.

    5/5
