    About You

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

    • The work shadowing and the 2-day coding challenge were very enjoyable.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • It was just a spring insight, so there was nothing of value I could really do. But it was clear from the start that J.P. Morgan was very interested in investing in us as both interns and during a potential graduate scheme.

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

    • Through presentations, and work shadowing I gained so much information about J.P. Morgan as a company, about the technology division within J.P. Morgan, and generally what it would be like to work there.

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

    • The coding challenge in particular was very intense in terms of skill development. I learnt a lot about Java, and object oriented programming in general, which I feel I can apply to my degree in Electrical Engineering

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • On two of the days there were presentations for basically the whole day. The information given was all useful and interesting, but it would have been nice perhaps to have had the presentations more spaced throughout the week.

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

    • Everyone on the insight was friendly, and the social events in the evening were fun.

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

    • It was only a week insight program, so there was only so much personal training which could be accomplished. I would say the majority of the time was spent learning about the company.

    3/5
  • 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?

    • There was an afternoon of work shadowing and a two day coding challenge which gave us a brief insight into the company. But it would have been nice if there had been more work shadowing.

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

    • The networking events and presentations allowed me to get to know quite a few of the long term employees. This was probably the biggest factor in allowing me understand the company culture at J.P. Morgan technology.

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

    • The whole week did help me to decide on where I want to apply for an internship in the following summer.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I was not paid, and I lived in London so my travel costs were minimal - I didn't really require and reimbursement.

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

    • Apart from the work shadowing there was a networking lunch where we could meet other employees.

    3/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • There were two social events in the evening and a networking lunch on the final day.

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

    • Not really

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

    • Yes, especially if they were unsure about working in technology at a bank, as it really did clarify a lot of things for me.
