    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The insight day at M&GPrudential was extremely valuable and enjoyable. I found it highly informative, as it gave unique insights into the selection process and the key features of large divisions at M&GPrudential. The event was also engaging, by involving us in an investment game and giving us the opportunity to network with employees of M&GPrudential and the HR. It was definitely the most useful insight day I have attended.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • This was an insight day so this question may not really apply to it. However, I feel valued as I was aware that they were listening to my questions and concerns and genuinely wanted to help me and the other students.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Again this was only an insight day so I didn't have huge expectations on the firm to invest in me. However, I greatly appreciated the time they dedicated to us and the passion they showed.

    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?
  • I believe that the employees who joined the networking session, as well as the speakers and the HR, gave a fair picture of the culture of the firm and the life at M&GPrudential. I was impressed by the passion they showed.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • This was an insight day so I did not expect to be paid for it.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There was a networking session during lunch and plenty of other opportunities to raise questions to speakers and HR.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • A very good number of employees joined the networking session over lunch and they were available to answer questions and give insights about the application process or the life at M&G Prudential.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I found out about team activities during presentations and it showed the real team spirit. Apart from that, I don't know of any other activities such as volunteering day. However, I'm sure that if any of us had raised this question they would have given us more information about this.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend this insight day to any student and, indeed, I have already recommended it to people at my University. Compared to other insight days I have attended in the past, I found the M&GPrudential insight day extremely informative and useful, especially in terms of networking with M&GPrudential employees.

    5/5
