    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Mostly good, but if possible the talks from each division could have been more spaced out instead of back to back each morning.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Overall, it was a very enjoyable process. I especially enjoyed talking and mixing with all the other candidates. People were surprisingly nice!

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I felt like I really built on my skills in many respects, especially presentations.

    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?

    • We received a lot of information an even got to shadow. However, I don't think you can ever fully understand what it would be like to work there without some actual work experience, but that is what I think an internship is for. For a spring insight week, it was as useful as it possibly could have been.

    4/5
