    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured. With only five days within the firm it was key that our time was used most effectively and it mot certainly was. Barely a minute was wasted over the entire week.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Due to variation of activities and friendliness of staff and co-interns, the week had an incredibly good 'atmosphere' about it. A combination of both an open environment and professional etiquette made for both a fun and valuable week.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We received several training sessions and multiple workshops to both increase our k knowledge of the financial world and improve our soft skills.

    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?
  • Although the insight was most defiantly thorough, it did seem to be somewhat more intensive in demonstrating Wealth Management over Asset Management.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • With only five days in the firm it is difficult to understand the true etiquette and ethos of a company, However it most defiantly highlighted its most important part of its culture as teamwork.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Again, although the insight was most defiantly thorough, it did seem to be somewhat more intensive in demonstrating Wealth Management over Asset Management. Which may have led to some degree of bias in division selection.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There were many opportunities to meet employees, be it lunch events or by shadowing teams for the day.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Good environment, friendly analysts/associates and good exposure to very senior management.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Some reference to activities available outside work, however this was only found out through active questioning.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes, if their interest is specifically Asset and Wealth Management or just finance in general, I would most defiantly recommend the week.

    5/5
