    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • We got given many insights into what people at the firm do and plenty of advice on how to succeed there.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Being on a science degree course, the knowledge I've acquired will unlikely be useful for my studies, but would undoubtedly help me build a career in the finance sector. However, the skills I developed during the week will be applicable in many situations, both academic and professional.

    5/5

    The Company
