    About You

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

    • Good overview of all divisions, so will be appealing for people that are not sure where to go into. But not very helpful for people who are determined to get into technology division since they don't really have a lot of activities related to the technology division.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Participants might be a bit aggressive sometimes, but generally the recruiters and analysts that you get to meet in the company are very nice.

    3/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Very helpful campus recruiters, and also quite a lot of analysts are willing to share.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Good to let you have an insight of the investment banking industry

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Generally get long days throughout the week, but normally the time management is really good and will not overrun too badly. Have in-depth overview of each division within the bank. However, work shadowing organisation seems a bit messed up since some people didn't get to shadow what they wanted to.

    • People might be a bit competitive but a good learning experience.
