    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The Spring Insight week was a really enjoyable experience with a huge breadth and variety in the work we were doing and experience we were gaining.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt that all the employees in my division had a lot of time to give despite their busy work schedules, and were always happy to offer 30 minutes for a coffee chat to tell you more about what they do and their team.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The HCM team were very supporting over the experience. I was also assigned a buddy, but received less support in this direction as they were very busy.

    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 felt the whole experience was extremely beneficial in terms of building my working skills, as well as expanding my financial knowledge. I genuinely felt I developed a huge amount as a person through the experience.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight weeks were well structured, as they gave you responsibility to control your own time, but also regular events and workshops to build skills and give good exposure to different people in the division.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere was really dynamic, and both the employees and other interns were lovely.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We attended several workshops and sessions that were in place for us to build skills and learn. These were all highly interactive, and I felt I learnt huge amounts over the experience.

    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?
  • We were assigned a desk and team on the third day of the program. This meant we got a feel as to what it would be like working full-time at the firm.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Across the two weeks I met with over 15 employees one on one. This gave me a clear insight into the culture of the people, and the culture was also transparent within the office.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Highly valuable. I enjoyed the experience so much, that it made me very clear in wanting to explore career options at GS.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • We were paid more than adequately for the experience. I think the compensation was fair for the work we completed.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • We had full flexibility to network and meet employees during any desk time that we had schedules. I met over 15 employees one on one for coffee over the two weeks.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The networking events within the program were super useful, as they allowed you to explore beyond your team, but also meet with other interns.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • We attended several talks about the networks within GS, and these networks also had events for us to attend. We were also permitted to visit the fitness centre, however this is something I sadly didn't have time for.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would more than recommend the insight weeks to a friend.

    5/5
