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

    • I felt very valued by the company we were treated as individuals and although it was a pretty short (in time) insight scheme I believe that the company invested as much as possible to every one of us.

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

    • A lot of support indeed, the structure of the insight week took place through online presentations so we received a lot of training in every business area of the company,it was very impressive due to the limited time we had, and after every session, we had an opportunity to ask questions to the presenters and even send them messages on the terminal chat!

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

    • My background is an engineering one,so I enjoyed very much learning about fintech and its divisions.I developed a lot of skills such us presentation skills communication skills and organizational skills.I would say that the company invested a lot of time in our development as they focused on our training and development very much in those three days.
