    About You

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

    • I had a good time attending the FCA insight day. It was well planned and put together to us to understand the different divisions and roles. They helped shed light on the recruitment process too. The food was certainly a highlight, a nice variety of sandwiches, including sandwiches with some real kick.
