    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The internship at Goldman Sachs was my dream and it turned out to be an amazing experience. Every individual who was selected to be part of the Spring Programme was so unique and I am happy to connect with. I have learned a lot about the finance industry and my opportunities at the company

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt valued all the time. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant and is in contrast of what I have heard from other 西瓜视频s at my university who took part at the internship in the previous years. Employees took their time to get to know us interns

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There was a lot of guidance. For instance, every intern gets a buddy who are typically an Analyst or Advisor. They are there for you during your entire time and Goldman Sachs and to help you find your way in the firm or help you to answer any questions that you might have.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I do not study a finance related course so the information that I have acquired will be less relevant for my degree. However, I learned a lot about the industry and has broaden my scope of a career at Goldman Sachs. But, I have learned certain skills in preparing projects at my time there which will be certainly beneficial in my degree.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The internship is very well structured. Nevertheless, I do think that the first week was way busier and it calmed down a little in the second week where I had much more leisure time. It is structured in way, that you will get a taste for different divisions and then you can kind of specialise depending on your preference.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was really amazing and exactly what I expected from such a world class institution at Goldman Sachs. Everyone is willing to work hard, go the extra mile and even over hours if that is necessary to succeed. I slept little but I did not care as I want to prove myself as well. All the interns were like-minded which all pushed us to our limits.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • 3/5

  • 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?
  • Extremely helpful. In talking with employees, being in the office/going through the different divisions and listening to the presentations will provide you with a great understanding of the company鈥檚 culture and what it is like to have a full-time position there. The short time at the company is definitely enough to see if you would like to work there.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • 5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Valuable. I have learned a lot about the daily life of an Analyst at Goldman Sachs and it is exactly what I want to do later in my life. I love the challenges it involves, the hard-working atmosphere and salary you鈥檒l get for your work. I definitely want to later work for Goldman Sachs.

    4/5

    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 quite a few opportunities to network with the employees. I have even sat down with an employee for a coffee and interviewed him and ask all my questions in my head. However, the employees will also take their time to hold presentation. This gives you always to the opportunity to connect.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • 3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • 3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would recommend this internship to my friends. Everything provided to you and even more. It looks great on your CV and LinkedIn and will boost your career opportunities. It is all about the prestige. However, it will also teach you valuable transferable skills and will paint a great picture of the finance industry.
