    About You

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

    • It was a great experience! It was not just group challenges, but also informative presentations about JP Morgan line of business and preparation for interview and assessment centre. I feel more confident and met a lot of cool people!

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

    • A lot of emphasis is put on recruiting the best graduates and supporting their growth from day 1. We had mentors during challenges to guide us and everyone was interested in helping us make the most of our time with the company.

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

    • There were always senior staff happy to offer advice and pass on their technical knowledge. The program overall was really well organised.

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

    • It will assist me in my career, which I believe is more important than university. A lot of the new information is beyond the scope of my studies at uni.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Overall, I was surprised how many different things we got to do. There was a lot of sitting down at some points, which can be tiring and the workshadowing session was a bit short, but insightful! :)

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Lots of fun, smart and enthusiastic people! It makes for a great week and new friends.

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

    • Informative booklets, presentations, experts panel for Q&A, tips for interviews and assessments are just the tip of the iceberg!

    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?

    • It was a surprise to learn about the variety of technologist roles available in a bank. The week also gave me a feel for the culture, which is what helps you make up your mind.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • There is nothing better than talking to employees or workshadowing to understand the corporate culture of a company.

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

    • It's what made up my mind.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I was reimbursed.

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

    • Networking and getting to know each other was the running theme.

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

    • Would have been good to mingle in a less formal setting more, but otherwise the Q&A sessions were well thought out and the panelists were friendly and happy to answer our questions.

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

    • Under the impression that there isn't much time outside work ...

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes! The worst thing that can happen is you come out knowing more than you did - whether you decide to apply this knowledge at JP Morgan in the future or not.
