    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    2/5
  • 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?

    • Has won me round to the idea of investment banking when before I wasn't sure.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I have not yet filed for my expenses but the firm does offer it for those who live outside London.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Work-shadowing was a key example, but we had a networking lunch one day and a speed networking session the next which really informed us well.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Really good, we went bowling on the Tuesday night which was a good way to let off steam and meet people.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • The advocate a better work-life balance than other banks and I can see that, but besides volunteer work they didn't talk much about this area.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • For the experience, certainly, for trying for a longer internship and a job, it depends on what area they are interested in.
