Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The program consisted of informative lectures and hands-on workshops pertaining to machine learning topics, finance and statistics, as well as an introduction to the paths and day-to-day of working in a financial institution.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I felt like there were plenty of avenues available for any individual with a drive to succeed and a STEM background - the different roles cater to many different types of work styles and personalities and all offer exciting and challenging problems to investigate.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
People were sociable and excited to bring new talent into the fray. People were close-lipped about protected institute material but were otherwise very open to discuss any details they were able to, as well as in-depth details of the day-to-day. Everyone there seems to love their job and is excited about the work they get to do.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I thought it was an amazing way to dip a toe into the finance world and be introduced to many of the concepts that I felt uncertain about (but unsure how to ask about being educated about them, so they did an excellent job at anticipating my needs and catering to them), as well as met many amazing people I continue to connect with today.
