    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I was meant to be shadowing a women, however due to other commitments I only saw her briefly on the first day and then briefly on my last day. Instead I was put with some of her colleagues, where sometimes I felt they did not have enough work for me to do. However, this enabled me to meet many different people from different departments, which I would not have been able to do otherwise.
