    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well. The Open Day gave me a lot of opportunities to talk with trainees and Graduate Recruitment Officers. I particularly liked the rotation system in the 'Life as a trainee session'. In that way, I got to know trainees in their diffrent stage of training contract (diffrent seats).
