    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the virtual experience?

    • Extremely structured. We followed a schedule that was provided in advance. However, in some cases we had to skip q5 minute breaks due to lack of time

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

    • Despite being a fully online experience, it has not damaged the atmosphere. Everyone (from managers to insighters) looked really motivated and enthusiastic about all activities, presentations and Q&A sessions. Since enthusiasm is contagious, I would qualify the general atmosphere as fantastic
