    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The Insight Day was really well structured. First, there was some 'warm up' exercises which gave us an opportunity to meet other applicants. Then there was plenty of opportunities to learn about the organizations (presentations, chat with employers, mock assessment centre etc.). The best part was a chat with graduates.
