About You
Had an amazing time, I enjoyed it thoroughly
Extremely welcomed. The insight co-ordinators took the time to know our names and faces before we even arrived, and were always available to answer our questions. All the members of the company were extremely helpful and friendly and made us feel important and valued.
The staff were always there to help, and the whole experience was designed to guide us through the various aspects of the company
It has helped me understand the basics of the finance world and what each area of the company does. It has made that particular career path seem a lot more accessible to me and I could see myself applying after I finish university.
The Company
Very well. We were given timetables for all the 4 days which were followed completely.
The atmosphere was positive
There was no cost as such, but I could see that a lot of time and effort had been spent on coordinating the program. We had analysts and associates right up to heads of departments come and spend their time talking to us and helping us.
It was a big focus and was mentioned positively by all the employees
Very valuable.
Everything Else
I was reimbursed for train travel and hotel accommodation
Yes, from across all areas of the firm
There were many different ones like speed networking or networking over drinks or just with a speaker after a presentation.
Yes it was covered
Definitely. I have gained invaluable experience and had lots of fun
