    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I had an amazing experience. Not only did I learn more about the company but I also had the opportunity to meet a diverse cohort of brilliant 西瓜视频s. I found this opportunity to be enriching in both a personal and career sense.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone I met was welcoming and accommodating. People at the firm went out of their way to make me feel at home while maintaining an expected level of professionalism.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The guidance/support was easy to find when sought. I appreciated the buddy system as it paired me with someone who felt like a personal cheerleader, encouraging me in a situation that could be potentially stressful/intimidating.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • This experience is great in that it provides a real world context for my studies at university. Not only were there hands-on workshops but I also learned a lot about the significance of technology in the finance world.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was highly structured and we were able to keep busy for most of the day. Some days required 西瓜视频s to make an effort to keep themselves occupied but this was easy with the big group project at the end of the program.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere was supportive, insightful, and exciting. Participating in this insight definitely made me want to return to Goldman Sachs and gave me a better understanding of where I could see myself fitting within Goldman Sachs.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There were some great workshops that very clearly provided technical training. The insight provided a great environment to work on skills such as networking but these skills were a prerequisite to develop further. I would have appreciated more time work shadowing but also understand the limited time.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • Talking to full time employees, having a desk designated for interns in the middle of the action, and being expected to be at the insight during work hours definitely illustrated what life at GS is like.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Employees at the company made a clear effort to make us feel integrated into the firm culture so that we could get a better understanding of it. I also appreciated how people were very open to discussing company culture.

    3/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The work shadowing, workshops, and projects definitely helped me get a better understand of what I want in my career and the path I would like to take.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Yes, I was paid adequately and did not require an reimbursements but am confident that I would have been reimbursed adequately.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, definitely. Employees of the firm were more than enthusiastic about meeting with us outside of scheduled programs and sharing about their experiences. This was probably the most enriching part of my experience.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Given the duration of the program, there were not too many events of this kind but the ones offered were sufficient and led to some great connections.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes and we were able to engage in some of these activities such as the opportunity to take some gym classes.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend this insight to a friend and would love to do it again. This experience went by too quickly!

    5/5
