    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Every activity was really well explained and gave everybody a vast insight about Barclays Technology Glasgow. I enjoyed the fact that many of the speeches were interactive and some of them really challenging like the Eagle Labs team activities or the Tuesday teambuilding. It was better than I have ever expected.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • After good networking sessions I got to know almost everybody and felt appreciated. The springers are open-minded and innovative. They encouraged me to be a better person and to make this week more entertaining and productive. Also, everybody valued my ideas and never felt like isolating myself or wanting to regret coming to this spring week.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Work shadowing sessions were really helpful. The shadowers showed what Barclays Technology does and explained everything thoroughly. Despite these sessions, every speaker tried to show us how Barclays can help us in our career. Overall, a lot of guidance was given and I felt like somebody really cared about my future.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The soft skills which I developed will definitely help me throughout studies. But the amount of information I got will truly guide me in my future career. All I learnt during this week gave me a really good idea about what I would actually want to do in my career.
