    About You

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

    • Plenty of fun events, lots of good food and friendly people.

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

    • They repeated how each member was a valid candidate for summer and all of the best, but being part of such a large group (120 in total, about 40 in my division) certainly makes it feel less personal.

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

    • For group projects each team was assigned a mentor, this was quite helpful.

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

    • Not so much in my degree studies, but certainly helped for a future in the industry.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Extremely well structured!

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

    • Friendly but competitive and tiring.

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

    • Some senior members met with us and plenty of great case studies were prepared for us. Many people in the bank however saw us as "another group of interns", probably due to the size.

    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?

    • No work shadowing.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Lots of opportunities to ask questions and learn from current employees.

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

    • Quite helpful and lots of different courses to explain the divisions.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I was reimbursed travel and provided accommodation.

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

    • Yes, but senior members were often bombarded by plenty of people and in particular people who hoarded their attention with stupid (repetitive) questions.

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

    • Fun, see above.

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

    • Yes, they made an effort to show that there is a life outside of work, but this did not shine through often as they clearly spend most of the time at the office.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Anyone who wants to learn about Investment Banking at a big bulge bracket bank, this is a great insight.

    4/5
