    About You

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

    • The insight was probably one of the best times of my life without exaggerating. It was finally my very first look into the banking world and gave me a lot of understanding of the differences between the academic and professional side of Finance.

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

    • Even though I was just a Spring Intern, I felt like an MD at JP Morgan because every time everyone took the time to answer any of my questions, show me what they were doing. Any problem I had was quickly solved by the graduate recruitment team and I never had to wait or be inactive.

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

    • The only slightly negative side was that no schedule was given before the program so it was hard to prepare before actually arriving there, but apart from that any of my problems was quickly solved and information was given out on time.

    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 information I received was absolutely crucial in making both my future career decisions and my course choice.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • I loved the fact that the insight started by presentations and networking in order to make sure that everyone knew exactly how the firm worked before putting us on the trading floor.

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

    • I loved it, there was a healthy competition and I also made a lot of friends both with some employees and with other interns.

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

    • Not only money, but a lot of time was invested in our training by having both juniors and seniors constantly present to help and teach us.

    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?

    • Of course, the time was little short to get a comprehensive idea, but the two rotations helped me understand a lot in terms of general feeling and culture of JP Morgan.

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

    • As said in the previous comment, that is the thing I most understood by being there, it really is a fun culture I feel very adapted to.

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

    • I have made a decision on my career path thanks to this Insight
