    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The programmed was structured in a very logical way. On the first day, we were able to walk around the building and do work shadowing. Later on, we listened to senior members and got to know more details about the company.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • I didn't feel any pressure during the insight and gained friendship through it.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There were several training sessions on each day and were all tailored for beginners like us. My skill of making effective communication has been improved massively.

    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?
  • Since we really got to talk with employees we had the chance to listen to personal feedback from them. It was quite helpful as it complemented what is shown on the firm's website.

    3/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Very well. Almost everyone I talked to emphasized on the flat structure and the culture of meritocracy that differs JP Morgan from other investment banks.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Before the Spring week I know little about the industry. Having the opportunity to experience the work and life inside the building make me realise how much I am interested in the job.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • The firm was quite generous and the reason I was not reimbursed was only because I didn't claim expenses.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, there were many and I really feel that networking is a very important part of the business.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • They were great as you don't normally have the opportunity to talk to senior people with more than ten years of working experience.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Sports is quite an example and the firm actually encouraged it.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Certainly yes.
