    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Very much enjoyed the experience and felt it was very helpful.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone was very welcome, lots of talks from senior people and in general employees seemed keen to help and encouraged questions and answered emails very thoroughly.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Got good support in general. But would say that guidance to what section would suit someone is something that would be beneficial to many.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills that are focussed are key in a business world, and getting taken out of your comfort zone is important.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Overall good, perhaps more could be done with the first day explaining what sections do. Furthermore having talks from sections after the preferences have been submitted doesn't seem the most efficient way of doing it as people who get attracted to that area may have missed the chance.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Very friendly and approachable in both the candidates that were there and the employees.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Limited individual training but wouldn't expect that in a spring week but the group excercises were effective.

    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?
  • Did help overall, but difficult to understand without doing the job and obviously there are confidentiality issues with that.

    3/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Got a real in depth sense of the culture from the people you meet.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The days were very valuable. But perhaps for some having to narrow the shadowing to two sections makes it more difficult.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Ample reimbursing of expenses.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There were plenty, but would always want more.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The events were very good, especially the networking dinner as that was more relaxed and you had a much longer conversation hence got a better sense of the person and their job role.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • For those who mentioned it you did, opportunities available were also mentioned just not in too much detail.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Definitely I believe it is key for development and getting an internship, especially for first year students where internship programmes are rare.

    5/5
