Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During this insight I had the chance to chat directly with a number of J.P. Morgan employees as well as completing coding challenges relating to SQL, Data structures and Object-Oriented Programming followed by reflections on the challenges that I faced.
The various workshops held relating to Software Engineering Techniques, Code for Good t and Cybersecurity were no doubt thrilling and challenging yet fun and provided a wonderful insight into the work JPMorgan Chase & Co. does.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I was provided with a strong overview of the culture at J.P. Morgan and I feel more confident now about my knowledge. I felt as learning valuable information which will be very useful in the future when applying for either an internship or a graduate role at this company, because we were provided with general advice for this matter.
