About You
I really enjoyed the insight it was engaging and very interesting.
I felt extremely valued during my time at the company. They were open and very encouraging in terms of getting everyone involved during the day.
I received several guidance and support, where I was unclear if something support was provided from FCA staff.
Being someone who studies banking, finance and management gaining more in depth information on the FCA a regulatory organisation was very useful as regulation of banks is something we look at in my course.
The Company
Very well structured.
The atmosphere was very positive and engaging. A great working environment and very friendly.
They invested a lot in me e.g. The leadership session, skills for growth session, interview skills session and presentation session.
It helped me a lot as we heard from current employees at the firm and done work shadowing.
It helped me a lot. A real feel of the organisation was provided, particularly when a talk was given from the chairman and other senior staff.
It was very valuable as I learnt about a range of sectors and the day to day activities for these sectors and roles.
Everything Else
I was reimbursed my transport expenses which was very nice of them.
Yes during the lunch and learn session and when shadowing.
They were very good. I got to speak to a range of staff and hear from their own personal experiences.
Yes, I found out about their community programmes and secondments.
Definitely, the programme was a great opportunity and a great way to spend the week.
