Spring into Operations Insight Intern Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed my insight week with J.P.Morgan due to the week being so well organised, informative and fun. Each day has been different and my time at the firm was fully utilised - there has not been a moment where I have felt my time has being wasted. Every member of staff has been friendly and more than willing to spend time teaching me more about J.P.Morgan and the Investment Banking industry as a whole. 'Spring into Operations' went above and beyond my expectations.

From day 1 I was treated like a J.P.Morgan employee. I was respected, valued and looked after throughout the whole week. The team, especially Clare Crumpler (Campus Recruiter) had evidently put a huge amount of time and effort into the week, and that was so appreciated.

The week was well organised, clear and structured. Each member of staff was approachable and more than willing to help where necessary. Therefore I felt fully guided and supported throughout the week.

As previously mentioned, the week was extremely informative and I have learnt a great deal. In particular, I have appreciated learning more about the basics of an Investment Bank - and more specifically how the Operations department is structured in J.P.Morgan. In addition to learning about the firm, we received sessions on personal development, CV and interview hints and tips, and various other skill sessions. Other activities included group exercises, where i learnt a great deal about team work and how to perform in an Assessment Centre.

Extremely well structured.

Great atmosphere - due to fantastic people, both the other interns and J.P.Morgan employees.

The firm had evidently invested time and money into the insight week, and that was so appreciated. I received a personal handbook for the week, a specific J.P.Morgan notebook and a personal name badge. The week was informative as well as a great chance to learn new skills - it did feel like a training week as well as an 'insight' week.

The days were long! So I got a sense of what a full time role in the company would be like. I was given the opportunity to talk to various different members of staff to gauge an idea of the different roles and responsibilities within the firm.

Massively. This was mainly due to me being on site, having a tour and seeing the campus and culture first-hand.

Very valuable - a great insight into an Investment Bank and what is required for certain roles within the firm.

I was reimbursed expenses, including transport and a food allowance.

Yes, many networking events.

Extremely enjoyable. The firm provided brilliant canopies and drinks for us at each networking event - we had a fantastic cream tea on one day.

Yes, through Q&A sessions and witnessing activities taking place around the site.

Most definitely.
