    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed it, HR was nice and helpful. I learned a lot.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I did very much. HR was attentive and did not show any inclination to anyone in particular, unlike other experiences i had in other banks. We were all assessed equally by business representatives at the end of the week, so everyone took time to get to know us well

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Many of things we had to do required some knowledge. HR provided us with someone from the business to guide us throughout the processes so we always had somebody to answer our questions

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Nothing at all since I study something completely unrelated. However, the hard work and challenging environment of the bank has made me learn much more about transferable skills.

    5/5

    5/5

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