    About You

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

    • It was enjoyable, but also challenging in terms of the group work- but this was not a bad thing!

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

    • Everyone was very friendly and willing to answer questions and give you insight into what they do, and about the company.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • We were assigned a mentor each who we met a few times, and who was available to email/message to ask questions to. Everyone I knew found their mentor very helpful and approachable.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • 5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was well thought out and gave true insight into the company and the role of an analyst. Having multiple opportunities to speak to current employees was definitely valuable.

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

    • 4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • A lot of people gave up their time to be involved in the Spring Week and talk to us, or help us with group work. I feel this gave a really great insight into the company, but also proved that the people who worked there were friendly, and also passionate about their jobs. This was very good in terms of convincing us that it is a good company to work for, and definitely was a main factor in deciding to apply for a summer internship.

    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?

    • Having the opportunity to speak to people withing the firm directly at networking sessions was extremely useful. The only other thing that would have been useful in seeing exactly what people did would be by shadowing them, but this obviously could not be helped as there was regulatory issues.

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

    • 4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • The talks from different departments, and networking with analysts in these different departments was valuable in deciding a career path.

    4/5

    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?

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

    • Sometimes there were too few employees at the networking events (completely understandable considering how busy they are!) and this meant that the employees were slightly 'mobbed', making it difficult to ask questions.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • We did, but only by chance when we asked an employee.

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

    • Definitely. It was challenging, and tiring as the week was jam-packed, but it was extremely insightful and a great experience. It was also great to be able to meet people interested in the same possible career, and the employees, and hear directly from them about their experiences and their advice to move forward in pursuing a career in this field.

    5/5
