Insight day Review

I very much enjoyed the Insight day, very informative with excellent chances to network with current employees within the organisation and current graduates. However, can still be improved in very few ways. The first day did not need to be as lengthy and detailed in terms of what to do and what not to do. I understand JP Morgan are a very exclusive company however I believe a 1-2 hour talk is lengthily enough. Apart from this, the insight day was a great success and I would encourage everyone to apply.

I felt valued since joining and arriving at JP Morgan headquarters. Food was provided and never was there a time where we were not looked after. During my time there, I also felt we were given the chance to express ourselves and ask as many questions as possible.

During the insight day, we were guided through the whole week and only left alone when need be (group presentations or projects). They supported us with any queries we had in terms of not knowing what to do and when. We were always given full guidance throughout

The skills and mind-set developed over this insight day will help us in our everyday lives as well as degrees more than we will ever know. Social skills as well as group and team working skills were tested and put to the limit. This however was a great experience and one we will never forget. Furthermore, it has been a memorable experience having met people from different universities such as Bath and oxford.

The structure during the week was amazing, very well planned out and thought through. The organisation team and mentors did a great job in getting everyone together. We had everyday structured to a time in terms of hourly knowing what we were doing and when we were doing it. Explanations given were excellent and very informative.

The atmosphere can be said to be very enthusiastic and at times very calm and relaxed. We were put under pressure when need be however were also given time to relax after strenuous activity. I believe the general atmosphere led us to believe we were in the apprentice or dragons den with panels marking us but was still very exciting and a very moving insight day.

During the process, I believe personal training was being given through lectures and different speeches given by graduates and other employees working at JP Morgan.

It helped to an extent however work shadowing could be for a lengthier time.

During different speeches and events held we understood the culture of how JP Morgan work. We were could also see the different ethnicities in each office and how it varied.

I understood greatly about what career path I wanted to take in terms of with or without JP Morgan and where I need to be in life.

I lived in Bournemouth therefore the hotel was paid for by JP Morgan.

I believe we had many chances to adequately introduce ourselves to the respected people. If be a graduate or an actual employee.

During lunch hours we were given time to socialise to different employees and these events were held at Bournemouth football ground as well as JP Morgan headquarters.

There are many activities such as football, tennis, just to name a few to get involved in.

I'd recommend this insight to any individual studying a degree looking to work for a prestige's company.
