The Role
Compared to other insights, and ones my friends have told me about, it was innovative, different and interesting
Everyone really came together and there was a true team spirit
Lots of support and also at the end of the day the feedback was great
It was a busy day, but as it is only one day, it should be.
Within context, a lot, we weren't standing around photocopying we were given specific tasks to complete that had been thought through in great detail
Some of the skills, such as small chat with clients, are little details that most companies don't worry about, but it will be really useful in day to day business interactions.
The Company
It was obviously prepared in order for it to be as fun as possible, that's really important to have that forethought.
Absolutely smooth, not a second without knowing what I was supposed to do
It was only one day, but you met so many different people, got so much advice and great food at the end of the day!
Healthcare/Dental
I ended up getting onto their University Scholarship scheme, as once you get on the Insight Day you get a fast track to interview stages.
The Culture
Yes, and they are very well connected on social networks too
