    About You

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

    • It was so busy, full of activities and useful too since I learnt a lot!

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

    • I felt relatively valued by everyone, but not to the extent that I would definitely be apart of the firm obviously!

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

    • I had so much support not only from HR and other Spring Interns, but a lot of the employees who were in the divisions I was interested in.

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

    • A lot of the skills would require more knowledge and practice but in terms of my degree, a lot of the models I've been learning were mentioned but proved to be wrong in Markets since more than 50% of what happens seems to be human psychology and confidence!

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Overall, it was extremely organised, all HR staff knew exactly what they were doing and we always started and finished at the same time they said we would so was structured really well!

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

    • Everyone was genuinely friendly and just willing to help, some more than others of course but the Spring Interns were all lovely!

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

    • It was only a week so not as much but I'm sure they would've done it more if it was a Summer Internship.

    3/5
  • 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?

    • Some people definitely gave an insight about this, not only about the division but also about what the people are really like and who they work with etc!

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

    • I think each division shows their culture and what they're like in and out of work, especially on the Wednesday evening when we had a 3 course meal with some of the employees, which really helped me decide whether this was the right place or not for me!

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

    • Definitely really helpful, I didn't know a lot about markets but I definitely know more about it. It would be an amazing opportunity if I had an opportunity to spend more time there.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I have to fill in a form to be reimbursed which I will do so!

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

    • Yes definitely, we had networking meals and sessions every day!

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

    • Some were more fun than others since we got more time to get to speak to them and know them more but overall, really good thank you!

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

    • A bit, but it would've been good to find out more if we had the time!

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

    • No doubt, it's such a good opportunity to learn more about the functions in the bank and meet people who can tell you exactly what they like!
