    5/5

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

    5/5

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

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the virtual experience?
  • Very well structured, with lots of well timed breaks. Felt like a much better, more cohesive and structured experience than other virtual internships based on what my friends have explained their experiences to be.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your virtual experience?
  • Really friendly! Everyone involved was open and I never felt intimidated or scared to speak in the chat, and getting to know everyone else on the internship was really fun and interesting too.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • A lot - I feel really valued by the company, and the phantom exercises and practice run throughs felt like they essentially training us to join them, which felt so nice as it really felt like they cared about us being involved with the company in the future.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • The experience was perfect in showing the kind of working environment and ethos of the company, and we were able to speak to so many different people that it was definitely as if we were getting the full picture of the company.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the virtual experience help you in understanding the company culture?
  • By having talks about more than just roles and about other activities that employees partake in (like training, and BoB), we could really see the kind of attitudes that the company values, and gave an amazing insight into company culture. As well as this, the Diversity and Inclusion talks gave a great indication of how inclusivity and community is valued in the company too.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Very helpful - this has been my first real exposure to FinTech formally, and it's really helped me to know that this is what I want to do in the future. Along with this, we were given the opportunity to complete BMC, which gave a deeper education into Finance.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I wasn't paid (not that I was expecting to be) but the prizes and the amazon vouchers were SUCH a generous addition, am really grateful for the kindness in that department


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes - anyone that spoke to us was just an IB chat away, and we could reach out at any time.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Great! The team building session was really fun.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Vaguely, but not much beyond BoB.

    2/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this virtual experience to a friend?
  • Yes

    4/5
