    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I really did create relations with people around me - especially my buddy and my line manager! Also people from the Grad Team were really nice and made us feel comfortable at all times!

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I did receive all the support I needed, but sometimes when I was at my desk all people around me were really busy, so I was sitting there not asking too may questions, not to be disturbing them!

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Up to now I feel that what I learnt has been really really useful! I have become more aware of a lot of things which I didn't have the chance to study at Uni!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I loved the time spent at my desk, even the simple fact to be assigned to one. As I said before - sometimes people are really really busy with their job, and struggling to talk to us because they have to work. I think a nice thing to do would have been having a one-hour or two-.hour session everyday for us interns, so that our buddies and managers could have had some time to work on their own and not be worried for the fact they couldn't talk or teach anything to us!

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It has been really really enjoyable!!! Everyone was nice and trying hard to make me feel comfortable!

    5/5

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

    4/5

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • I met a lot of people, and got also the chance to meet them at their desk the day after! they've also thought me a lot, and I'm glad to have had the chance to meet people from around the bank!

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Even though we didn't have enough time to talk to everyone, the events were nice right because of the fact that they were Formal in the context, but Informal in the way people were so open to answer our questions!

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • They've mentioned some Volunteering or Corporate social responsibility works, but never got into details on that!
