    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed this programme. It offered the opportunity to gain an insight into the industry, and to understand the different divisions. Meeting with the people within the company is a really effective way of understanding the culture and this was truly encouraged throughout the programme, through many networking opportunities. Finally, it was enjoyable to meet so many interesting people and develop lasting relationships and friendships.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • There was a lot of interest within the company to meet the Spring Interns, and people often reached out to offer advice and assistance. The feedback you receive throughout the programme is indicative of the attention that the organisers pay you, and how they value your development. I think the fact that we were exposed to people at very senior levels throughout the firm reinforces the importance and value that was placed on us throughout the internship.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Before the programme, we were assigned buddies who reached out to us prior to commencing in order to answer any questions throughout. We were then able to meet with our buddies throughout the programme to discuss anything, from our case studies to general queries. The organisers were always present to help us if we needed, and every task had clear instructions.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • We had a two day training course at the beginning of our programme which offered as a foundation for accounting, valuation and technical skills. Through doing the case studies, we learnt how to apply this knowledge to real life scenarios that occur in this industry. There was also an emphasis on soft skills such as presentation skills which were developed through debates.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was very well structured. We were provided with a time table that clearly outlined when we had sessions and when we had free time. The sessions were well run and kept to the schedule. The free time was sometimes scattered in short time frames in the first week which made it difficult to arrange networking but there was much more allocated free time in the second week.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was great. All of the interns were very friendly and we all got along really well. There was no competitiveness at all, everyone was willing to work together and help each other which I really enjoyed. It was exciting for us all to hear each others questions and there was an encouraging atmosphere.
