    About You

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

    • Yes, I enjoyed the programme. If anything, I wish it was slightly longer and there was more work-shadowing, but for a three-day programme I think it was well run.

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

    • The staff were all very inclusive in trying to get to know us (of course, being open to interaction myself helped too). The HR teams, as well as many of the staff in the office were eager to know us.

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

    • There were very good sessions on Agile techniques and preparing for assessment centres.

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

    • Knowledge on Agile development will be very useful. If anything, the insight programme did allow me to make a more informed decision as to whether banking might be an appropriate future career.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Execution was essentially flawless here - I cannot fault the recruitment team at all.

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

    • It was enjoyable; some parts may have been slightly heavier but I felt were necessary.

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

    • There were several courses and workshops, as well as work-shadowing opportunities.

    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?

    • In particular, the work-shadowing experiences were helpful here as we had opportunities and time to talk to members of staff and find out about their opinions as well as their work routines.

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

    • I must say that what I saw was surprisingly positive; there seemed to be a good sense of work-life balance and a slant towards self-driven development.

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

    • It was helpful to some extent, though more work-shadowing sessions would definitely have helped. I understand better how the functions of the bank come together, but could have a clearer picture of what someone working would do.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Expenses - travel fare, accommodation, food were all paid for, and were of a very high standard.

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

    • Yes, this was more than adequately provided by representatives of the company.

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

    • They were very nicely structured, however they often coincided with lunch and it felt uneasy at times to eat and network

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

    • This was actually a major point brought up by the staff - both work-related activities as well as other activities that one could engage in whilst living in the area.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Especially for London students it was an opportunity to witness a different type of life.
