    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I found the programme very enjoyable - as a class we got on really well

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • It's rare to meet people who genuinely value your opinion or voice, especially at an intern level. This is something GS does well.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • My team were particularly supportive and were always willing to sit down and help with any questions I had

    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 learning curve at GS for this programme was steep but useful and even enjoyable.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • There were a lot of sessions as well as desk time, but I wish I had more time to spend with my team

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The atmosphere within the department was really positive and supportive, I felt welcome straight away

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The sessions we had were very useful - especially those focused on the 'softer skills'

    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?

    • As the programme is only 2 weeks we will only be able to learn a limited amount about working at GS, but the employees had positive feedback

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • The culture and focus on diversity is very pronounced which I appreciated

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

    • I knew I wanted to go into finance anyway, but the insight programme was useful in deciding between sales/product and even teams within the department

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I was paid the typical amount for a spring insight intern

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • The networking sessions and regular catch ups meant I met people from all over the department and even wider firm, which I appreciated

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • There was a large emphasis on networking which was very useful as it meant I could decide on what I value in a firm and what I want out of a department even more

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • I liked how the employees at GS still pursued their hobbies alongside their career

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I think it is a great experience to gain more exposure to the financial world, and GS in particular

    5/5
