    3/5

    2/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The day plan was structured, but there was not too much to do in the evenings.

    2/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The atmosphere was rather pleasant and very accommodating to everyone's different interest. You were bound to find someone else there who you had something in common with.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Very very little. I was a unique case though, but the process after was very laboured and not worth all the effort put in.

    1/5
  • 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?

    • This was done very well and a fairly detailed day-to-day routine was established of each role.

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

    • Once you're in they will work with you to establish your goals

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

    • Not very. If one had researched up about the company and the positions, you probably would have a strong enough grounding anyways. For me it was just there to boost the knowledge of other roles that i had never considered before.

    2/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Your expenses were reimbursed. The process was very well done and I got my money reimbursed within a few weeks.

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

    • Yes

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

    • Well run, you met partners and MD's

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

    • There were some mentions of social events and sporting opportunities, as well as charity events.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I would recommend this to first year students, but watch out with any surprises that you may have in your course. They may not be as accommodating then....
