  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • If I needed to, I felt that I could always ask for support or guidance. People were very happy to give up their time and help if they could. I also liked the fact that we were allowed to be as independent as we wanted to be, which meant that I could shape my own experience at the firm.
