    4/5

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

    5/5

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

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The structure of the insight day was planned out in an effective and informative way, in that each sector of the company was presented by members of that sector and a review of what their job entails was given alongside some interactive sessions to get an idea of what they would be dealing with on a day-to-day basis.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Most of the insight day was more informative and the members of the company presenting, but there was plenty of opportunities to ask questions and interact with other members who attended the insight day as well as the employees of Towers Watson. The atmosphere was quite laid-back, which reflected the atmosphere of the company itself.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • The day provided an excellent insight into what it would be like working within the company but more so, in the office that the insight day was held in. However, as some of the presentations were made by members from different offices, they managed to give an overview as to how the offices and their atmospheres were different.
