    About You

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

    • I found the spring week really interesting and stimulating.

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

    • The J.P Morgan staff were really welcoming and we were engaged by all levels of staff with equal enthusiasm, from analysts to vice presidents.

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

    • I felt continuously informed, before and during the programme, about what to expect.

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

    • Skills that are valuable for life were included in the spring week, such as networking and presentation skills, as well as industry specific knowledge. As someone who studies a non finance degree, I left with a massive amount of financial knowledge that I did not have before.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was an extremely well organised programme.

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

    • The atmosphere was very focussed and professional throughout.

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

    • I don't think J.P Morgan could have put more resources into our spring week programme. We were continuously challenged.

    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?

    • It gave a good overview, but i don't think a week would ever provide a thorough insight into the stresses that would be involved in having a full time job at the firm.

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

    • Employees separately continuously mentioned how open J.P Morgan was as a firm, which was a definite insight into their culture.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • I am now so much more aware about what a career in the banking industry could and would entail.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • The firm payed for my travel and accommodation.

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

    • We had at least a networking breakfast, lunch or after work networking drinks every day.

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

    • At times there were too few company representatives to go around the spring week interns, which made it difficult to engage directly. However, we were continuously encouraged to take email addresses and ask them questions after the sessions had ended.

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

    • We had talks about female groups and groups for newly qualified professionals.

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

    • I would recommend the JP Morgan Spring week to anyone. The week was continuously stimulating and enriching.
