    About You

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

    • Very informative but i felt that the culture at JP Morgan was extremely cut throat and dog eat dog. As a result i found a few employees arrogant. Overall, i believe that i learnt a lot in a short amount of time but would not pursue a career at the firm

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

    • Not very, the general impression i gained was 'why should we pick you?' instead of why i should pick them

    1/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Hard to say, some employees were extremely helpful but then this was offset by other being unwilling to support you.

    2/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I believe a gained a valuable insight into how the industry works and can definitely say that the experience has opened other doors for me.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured

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

    • Very competitive and not very collaborative.

    2/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They offer training in New York which is a big appeal.

    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 made me realise that a full time role there would be very intense and pressurising, something which other people may love but which i would not enjoy.

    1/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I'd say the culture they portray on their website is different to what you experience when there. J.P. Morgan definitely promotes excellence and high work ethic but i didn't perceive the culture as friendly or collaborative

    2/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Helped you to explore different roles and asset classes.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Only a spring week so not reimbursed

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

    • Yes, all the time.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Good

    3/5
