    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • It was really well organized and very enriching despite the virtual format adopted due to the pandemic. Jefferies' members really took their time to tell us all about their industry, their line of work and the company.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Given the format and time constraints, it was impossible to ask all our questions. But when we did, the team really gave us precise and detailed answers. The HR was also very attentive and tried their best to create a trusting environment where everyone felt confident enough to participate.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The HR was always there with us providing guidance and explaining how the day would unfold.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Being a Masters Finance student, what I learned from exchanging with senior management and analysts will be useful mostly outside my degree studies. We were given really valuable advice that will most certainly serve us well at work and throughout our career.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Despite the virtual format it was very well organized.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It is very challenging to keep students motivated behind their webcams throughout an entire day but Jefferies managed to do it.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • Having personal statements from Jefferies members (whether analysts or MDs) was very useful to better understand what to expect when entering the firm/industry.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • When you read the website, you get a list of values and behaviors etc... that characterize the firm's culture. However during this Insight Day, we got to see this culture come to life.
