    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Perfectly.

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

    • Very positive in general however there was also a very ambitious energy among interns which made me feel very uncomfortable. Especially during the team works some people ignored and disregarded some other people to be more present in the eyes of HR, and employees, in order to get the Summer Analyst job.

    2/5
