The Role
It was useful to see the oppurtunities that are out there, as opposed to what I had intended for my career.
I felt there wasn't any elitism, like I had felt when visiting another firm in London. They had a great attitude towards us as potential employee's.
Good flow of activities.
E.g. in the risk case study, you were encouraged to give input and direct the group.
I still believe my career is moving in a different direction; but, I saw the insight day as a valuable thing to do to see what oppurtunities are out there.
The Company
It was a calm atmosphere, but still it is a huge business, thus, there was a feel of professionalism.
There was one of two hiccups, through no fault of the firm.
I felt valued as a potential future employee.
Healthcare/Dental
I always set my sights on a different future, but enjoyed the insight.
The Culture
I had previously met some, so it was great to meet again
