    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The structure was seamless, everything was simply laid out and we alway knew what we had to do on the internship.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • I though the atmosphere was great, fast paced and never a dull moment.

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

    • The firm really invested their time in the interns when I was there. Analysts would take time off their desks to teach us and guide us through their work.

    4/5
  • 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?

    • The insight was 2 weeks long and so shadowing different desk gave us an insight but I believe having stayed longer would have been more beneficial.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • The insight was extremely helpful to understand culture, we learned exactly how staff interacted with each other and the atmosphere was friendly.

    5/5

    • Incredibly helpful, I now understand and know that this is career path I want to follow.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • We were paid well and the experience was more than enough pay in itself.

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

    • Alongside shadowing hours, analysts and other members in the firm were always willing to meet us, as interns. The networking opportunities were fantastic and really recommend you make the most out of networking.

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

    • The networking/ social events were adequate, there were a lot of interns and to meet everyone was obviously unrealistic. Networking events with staff were great although hard to properly engage with them due to the knowledge base as an intern.

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

    • At the firm, there were constant reminders of the opportunities provided to staff and what they can get involved. Goldman Sachs has a number of activities ranging from volunteering to sport.

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

    • Insight was invaluable, if you have the chance I would definitely recommend trying to get on the program.

    5/5
