    About You

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

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The members of HR were enthusiastic and participative in all our activities and all the bankers we met were willing to answer any questions and help us with our group project. We were treated very well during the week and taken extremely good care of throughout.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Following the above, from all the information presentation sessions to work shadowing to the CSR trip, I felt completely supported throughout. People were always there to help us, but it never felt claustrophobic. We also had lots of freedom.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • While I'm not sure the technicalities involved in financial advisory are applicable to my studies, the teamwork and problem solving skills I developed are transferable to all aspects of life.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • On the first morning we arrived, we received a pack of information, including a timetable for the week. The majority of the day was packed with activities, leaving us good time in the (late) evenings to work on our project. I really appreciated the fact that each day was filled with structured sessions.

    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 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?

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • While I was not paid, those traveling from outside a certain distance could request for expenses to be reimbursed.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Definitely! We had a networking lunch with Analysts, afternoon tea with Directors, work shadowing sessions, and lots of interaction with HR members.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The "formal" lunch, afternoon tea and drinks session were great! I also had a couple of meals with my fellow interns, which was wonderful.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • We had a presentation on CSR, went on a CSR volunteering trip, had a tour of the building (ie. saw the gym!) and also had the chance to talk to bankers about what sorts of thing they are involved in.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Undoubtedly so - it was an unforgettable and great insight week!
