    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I think the insight appeared to be much more structured at the main office although in regional offices the 'insight' programme is less understood between employees.

    3/5

  • Everyone was extremely friendly, inclusive and helpful.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I felt more as if I was doing excess work rather than being traineds in any way although I did pick up many skills and knowledge throughout the process.

    3/5

  • 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?
  • definitely, I did what many other employees were doing although obviously development is a long process so a week isn't long to understand the whole job as I wasn't able to see every process of development.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I definitely understood the culture of the regional office, although not much of the business as a whole.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The content was very much one sides to the development department as this was where I was situated, although I enjoyed it and definitely would consider a career in this department, yet I didn't get an insight into any other career paths in property.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • I had no expenses although the offer was given to me to be reimbursed. I didn't expect to get paid.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes there were although only in the office and not the whole company.

    4/5

  • As I was the only insight student the attempts were suitable.
