A good mix of learning about the technical aspects of the job and meeting people/networking. The technical bits were very interesting, I think everyone learned something new, and there was a good insight across different groups. Meeting people was also very enjoyable, everyone was extremely friendly

I felt far more valued than I had expected to - we were treated almost like real employees, given passes and emails, and able to network freely

No individual feedback/guidance, but every person was assigned a buddy which was extremely helpful, and lots of soft skills guidance talks

Skills not very relevant to my degree studies, but that is a personal circumstance. Skills developed will be very relevant in any future career, and was a very useful first taste of/ introduction to many professional skills I had never developed before, such as networking

Well structured -a good mix of passive and active - so talks but also interactive case studies and group presentations. There was also a good balance of talks to free time to work on project/network

Atmosphere among interns generally extremely friendly and sociable, though also competitive

All the Goldman people including senior staff seemed genuinely interested to meet and educate us; had looked over our CVs in advance and knew our backgrounds

In some ways was a good insight - getting own emails and setting own meetups etc, but lack of real work shadowing on the desk made it a poor insight into the actual job

Again, lots of talks on culture, and everyone we met was extremely helpful, but lack of desk time / time spent in real office environment hindered this

Aside from lack of real work shadowing, extremely helpful - also as placement was 2 weeks (so longer than most spring insights), got a more accurate feel for what it would be like to come here daily as ajob

Paid and reimbursed adequately, also extremely convenient and comfortable accomodation provided, which made a big difference to a lot of people

Strongly encouraged to network, and when people were emailed, most were extremely responsive and willing to meet, even senior staff. Dedicated sessions to meet MDs also set up

Networking events were varied and extremely enjoyable - some firmwide, some division specific, some with senior members of the firm, and also different settings (Roundtable / afternoon tea/ lunch etc).

Yes - affinity networks, and dedicated talks on volunteering opportunities, and taster gym sessions

Would absolutely reccomend - extremely enjoyable, you meet so many interesting people, and they really do want to get to know you and invest in you
