    About You

  • Very enjoyable and valuable exposure to the typical working environment in the JP Morgan Operations division.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • JP Morgan values each worker particularly highly and this was clear on the insight week as everyone knew you by name even though there were 40 Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs attending.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Every session was supported by a broad range of employees of various seniority within JP Morgan, all who showed great enthusiasm which made everything clear and easy to understand.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The information received to do with specific job roles was very useful when helping to make a decision whether the division would be the right place to apply for a placement/internship. Less specific workshops aimed to develop interpersonal, networking and presentation skills which are important not only in my degree but also in any type of business environment.

    4/5

    The Company

    5/5

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

    5/5

    4/5

  • 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?
  • The insight very much based itself on driving the culture of the company which was clearly very transparent within the employees that we were able to network with. They were very open to any kind of questions and shared experiences from their years working at the firm which was very useful to gauging a real feel for what an everyday work/life balance would be like.

    5/5
