    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The experience of attending the Insight Day was excellent. When we walked into the building, the staffs warmly welcomed each one of us. During the day, we learned about roles from different divisions through carefully prepared presentations. The speakers all sounded knowledgeable and knew what they were talking. We were also provided the opportunity to actually meet and talk people in the organisaiton's, from seniors to the graduates hired from the past two years. The friendliness and inclusiveness that you could find from their employees tell much about the culture of the organization!

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The event organizer and other speakers paused from time to time to allow attendees to express our thoughts and ask questions. They also care about each attendee's experience and asked us to provide them feedback for future improvement. The organization also generously reimburse your travel expense to a reasonable amount if you live outside of London or have special needs for transportation. The company made me feel they truly value each participant.
