    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

  • The support offered was unparalleled. Every task we were given, there was always someone supervising, ready to step in and make sure we were on the right track.

    5/5

  • 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?
  • The client interview and presentation put us under tight time constraints and pressure, and I feel this gave a true indication to the type of work that they do on a day to day basis.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The events were short but effective. At the end of the day, I had a very good idea as to who evreyone in the room was and what they were about.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I am sure the information was available, but to be honest I just did not look for it.
