    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Was an interesting overview. Not as in-depth into every sector as would have liked but certainly very worthwhile.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • It was a little impersonal. We were definitely seen as future employees, but were treated like numbers at times.

    3/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • It was a very independent program for the most part which I enjoyed. That being said, if ever you needed help or guidance someone was there to help.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The primary take away from this in terms of useful skills was team work and team building.

    4/5

  • Work shadowing was very applicable. Excellent insight.

    5/5

  • Most of the talks were focused on operations as opposed to culture, so this area lacked depth.

  • 5/5
