    About You

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

    • Really enjoyable week.

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

    • Obviously you're not going to feel like family if you're only there for a week, but regardless everyone was made to feel very welcome and appreciated within the firm. If the internship had been for a longer duration, this rating would be higher.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • We had hours of classes and training before we did desk rotations (sales and trading), so we were well trained and supported. If you ever needed anything you were always encouraged to ask.

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

    • I learned more in a week at the firm than I did last term in university.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Intense, always busy. The whole thing is really a test, you are constantly being watched and judged as to how you'd fit in at the firm. The atmosphere is thus competitive in a sense, but the group I was in fit together very well, everyone made friends very quickly and the majority of people seemed to have a good time.

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

    • If you show a willingness to learn, the firm will do everything possible to teach you.

    5/5
  • 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?

    • You work with people who have a full time role at the firm, of course you gain an understanding.

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

    • The firm's emphasis on teamwork and partnership definitely comes through in everything they do.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Very useful

    4/5

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

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