    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I found the Insight Day really verified my prior opinions of the organisation - which is that they have a really amazing culture there.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt we were all treated very well, being presented with relevant information, as well as the employees there being approachable and 'human'. I liked that.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The main speaker on the day tried to make sure that everyone was following along and people's questions were answered appropriately. The guest speaker (a person from management) also had a really interesting story to share and I felt that it was an inspirational one too.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • We had a Mock Assessment Centre practice which I thought was really good. This gave me the chance to further work on executing my "future improvements" from my previous Assessment Day, and this turned out to be much fun. I have since reflected on this exercise and have identified areas I wish to improve in, which is great for my future development.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I was really pleased with how the day started. The main speaker welcomed everyone, introduced the agenda for the day, and clarified whenever a particular session had ended and what was to come next.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • REALLY DOWN-TO-EARTH people. My friend's dad works at Lloyd's and spoke about how he enjoyed working there because of the great culture they have. I just went to verify for myself it this was as good as my friend said: and they were absolutely right.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We were given a mock Assessment Centre practice (the one they'd really done from last year); we had someone from Management come give a wonderful talk which had things anyone could take away from it. So I'd say to quite an extent.

    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?
  • The talk given by the senior employee was a good introduction into their area of expertise, which was BONDS, as well as the company in general. They shared their working experience, from how/when they joined the company to where they are today.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Need I say much more...Great culture.

    5/5

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

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Still need to send off my evidence...


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • It was great having the employees currently on the Lloyds Leadership Programme come share their experience of working at the company.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Really useful. Nothing too new but simply supported my prior views about Lloyds

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I found out that Lloyds is committed different human causes and even have a charity were eveyone, including senior management are encouraged to get involved with. And the employees seemed to really love it.

    5/5

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

    5/5
