    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Had so much fun doing the spring internship, that I barely noticed the two weeks passing by.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt that our presence was highly valued. The fact that the investment bankers(even at MD levels) took time out of their busy schedules to talk to us, speaks for itself.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Very much. The training we received during the internship was highly appreciated and the recruiters were very good at giving us feedback on our performance.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The approach to finance in my study is very theoretical, so learning how the theory is applied in real life was something I really enjoyed.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured schedule. The programme was intensive, but in a good way.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • 5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • - 1 on 1 feedback with recruiters - feedback on case studies with VPs - help from analysts with cases - training in corporate finance and valuation

    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?
  • I was quite sure about wanting a FT role with GS before the programme. After the internship I am now more certain than ever that I want to work for GS

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • From talking to (former) GS i-bankers I had a somewhat clear understanding of the culture. Now it seems to me that there is a larger focus on work-life balance than I had thought. However, this might just be the image HR were trying to portray.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • 3/5

    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?
  • HR had arranged several networking events with i-bankers across all groups and levels.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • I was hoping for a social event involving alcohol, but else it was fine

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • We were introduced to several networks within GS

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • 100%

    5/5
