    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The spring week was very well organised with great presentations. The rotational work shadowing was the highlight of the week and we saw many business areas but due to time constraints we could not see them all; perhaps another day of shadowing would have been useful to see more areas of the business.
