  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Started with compliance and introduction to the company so we knew where to start and it was made clear what we needed to prioritise during the spring insight programme.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Everyone was very friendly and willing to help, buddy scheme has helped settling into the atmosphere at the firm quickly and also being assigned into groups for both the group project and work shadowing helped soak into the environment very quickly. Generally very welcoming

    5/5

    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?

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Gave talks about how some employees were able to integrate to the culture at GS, explained how diverse it was.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Work shadowing sessions and the fact that everyone was willing to meet up/reply to your email about the job has helped a lot in deciding which path we might like to take.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Will be paid on the last day of the spring week programme.

  • There was an opportunity to network with employees at the firm and a lot of people were very responsive towards emails and internal messenger chats.

  • Good drinks and food were provided, employees were very approachable.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes/no. Went to a talk about life after work but not sure if they talked about anything at GS outside of work that employees can be involved in.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes as it helps figure out what different departments do at GS and a lot of networking opportunities.
