I hundred percent enjoyed the experience to be sincere. I met new friends during networking sessions and there were enough breaks to relax and reflect before going on to another activity.

Yes
My biggest tip would be to reach out to the employees on Linkedin. They are very friendly and always willing to connect and help. Secondly, I would highly recommend taking the moment to join the assessment training sessions that you attend before submitting the final applications as they share helpful tips there.
