    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • This was an excellent week, very well structured and thought out as I always had something to do.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Genuinely felt really valued, a lot of effort had gone into organising a multitude of networking events, presentations from very high level J.P. Morgan employees, and giving us a deep an insight as possible into the different areas of IB and Risk

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There were soft skills sessions and tips on how to network, the mentor structure provided was very helpful and you could always easily approach any of the HR staff

    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 presentations were well explained and provided me with a better understanding of the individual divisions at J.P. Morgan. The team project was fun and is definitely a good experience to draw upon in the future

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Always had something to do, a great balance between presentations, networking and socials

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Got along really well with a lot of the interns, everyone was nice and there wasn't the sort of extreme competition between us that i heard might be the case, it was all very friendly

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • While it was only a Spring Week, you could tell a lot of time and effort went into organising the spring week to help us all develop an understanding of banking and risk to help us navigate our career paths. Insight from MDs and Heads of divisions provided a key insight into what a career at J.P. Morgan involves and job progression

    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?
  • I felt that the project provided a very strong insight into what I might be doing as an analyst. Hard work and team work are essential, but equally important is to be able to be friends with your team because you'll be spending a long time with them every day. I definitely felt our group developed a strong micro-culture and this made working together very fun.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Just talking to the many analysts on hand was a great way to see if you could click with the people there, it's something you have to experience rather than read about and was definitely an important factor in my decision to pursue a career here. I understand more clearly the culture and character of the people now and this has really made me want a job at J.P. Morgan more.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It clarified to me what my role would be in each of the divisions and definitely made me aware of what my preference would be.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was provided all my travel, breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day and more than enough money for luncheon.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • More than enough opportunities to find out if you're the right fit for the bank

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The social was excellent, and throughout the week just spending time with the other spring interns was very fun and relaxing.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Most of the time was devoted to helping us understand ib and risk better.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Definitely the best insight i've done, from what I hear from friends who have done others i would say that it's the best out there. Even if you don't get fast-tracked, it will make your future steps easier and clearer.

    5/5
