    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • We were given a schedule at the beginning of the week and it was pretty well structured. Maybe it would have been better to have it in advance. Work shadowing in the morning, conferences at lunch, work shadowing in the afternoon and some networking events were organized during the evening.
