    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed the 2017 Spring Week. It was perfect to understand the company's culture and to learn a lot from experienced employees.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • J.P. Morgan's employees made me feel important, they really took care of us and we could clearly see that they wanted us to have a great time.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Everybody was really helpful and happy to explain us every single concept. During the rotations on the trading floor, Sales and Traders were really supportive. They definitely did their best to be sure that we could understand what they were doing.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I am really grateful that I have been exposed to different teams and products. It is obviously very important to work hard during your degree but I think there are concepts that you can fully understand only when you are exposed to them on the floor. I would say that my understanding of the markets was much better after the programme.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was greatly planned and well balanced (presentations, team exercises, rotations, Q&A, social activities, networking). We got our timetable in the beginning of the week and did exactly what was planned. It was intense so come prepared.

    5/5

  • The atmosphere was really nice and I was impressed with my peers. They were really smart people from many different universities and countries: hard workers, fun, always ready for an interesting conversation.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • When we did not understand a concept, the team was happy to help us. I had the feeling that it gave me a solid foundation to start interning in finance. There was an important investment in my personal training and development.

    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?

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
