    • A lot of speakers from different background and different roles gave us plenty of speeches. Gained in-depth insights about the company and the division. My buddy gave me very detailed technical knowledge about her work instead of generic introduction.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • This year included a lot of new things. Thus, there is some room for improvement. The introduction can be pushed forward and the project can be more organised. It will be better for us to get some general idea about the division first before we get speakers to talk about specific divisions.

    3/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Absolutely interesting! I had a lot of fun during the AGILE game, group project and business challenge. Working with others to achieve better outcomes for the group was the constant objective for me. Competed with others to obtain better results made everything more interesting.
