Yes it was very informative and there was a number of presentations spread out over the period of two weeks. Most of the focus was on the division I was in, although there were a few firm wide Spring Intern events. Each presentation lasted about an hour and there was lots of time for people to ask questions.

I felt valued because the staff mentioned how they were very willing to talk to Spring Interns, which is very good.

Each Spring Intern was assigned a 'buddy' which is a great way to receive support informally. We were told we would receive more support if we interned next year during the Summer program, as we were told we would be able to receive support from a mentor and other staff members.

There weren't any workshops, only presentations and group project work. This meant that I was unable to build on any other skills which would be able to transferred to degree studies or any other parts of my life.

It was decently structured which meant that the presentations were spread out, therefore it wasn't too much of an information overload. There were free blocks of time every day, usually around 11am - 1pm, in which we were expected to work on group projects, organise shadowing sessions, eat lunch or to network.

It was quite alright, as staff members were quite talkative and open to questions. Most people were quite friendly and it is possible to schedule meetings, catch ups and lunch with members of the firm, so it is up to each individual to organise and network effectively to achieve individual goals.

The firm was quite invested as they called in many speakers and it was possible to talk to a lot of people. In regards to development, the information allowed me to expand my knowledge so I could understand the functions, importance and overall role of Operations in the firm which was a learning experience.

It gave me an idea of the responsibilities and subdivisions.

I learnt a lot about the 'GS Culture'.

I was able to learn about the possibility of securing a summer internship if I completed the group project successfully, as well as how that internship could convert to a full time graduate role. Therefore, the programme let me understand more about Operations and its role in Goldman Sachs, as well as the finance industry.

Lunch was not provided on most days.

Yes, we had email accounts set up.+

There were many opportunities to talk to employees in the division I interned in. This meant it was possible to schedule meetings and catch ups with them through the email accounts as well as instant messaging services. The firm encouraged us to do this so it was very common and acceptable to network often.

Yes they talked about the opportunities of networks, such as LGBT and black network.

Yes it was a great way to learn more about the culture and firm.
