    About You

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

    • I enjoyed it very much, especially the different ways you could connect with the current trainee during different activities. It was also quite easy to immediately socialise with the other visitors.

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

    • I enjoyed that I just ended up in the middle of the trainees during lunch and casually discussed topics such as karaoke skills. I talked for a bit with an associate and while he seemed very interested I never felt questioned in a negative way.

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

    • it was like someone held my hand all the way through the end.

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

    • Other than the negatiation game (including feedback) and the presentations, this might not extremely applicable.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Impressive, especially given that most people volunteered their hours/day are most likely to be extremely busy

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

    • Great. You could tell however, that most visitors where slightly nervous.

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

    • 3/5
  • 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 think they've done a great job with the little time they had (one day only)

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

    • It clearly reflected everything I experienced while working for the same company in a different country.

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

    • It ensured me that joining the firm was a good idea (and that not only the Frankfurt office was the only decisive factor)

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • People with travel costs where. I didn't have any (other than my bus fare so didn't claim any)

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • I have met several people with different job titles at different stages of the day.

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

    • It was one big day of networking

    5/5

    5/5
