    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company gave us a lot of freebies as well as an all expenses paid trip, so I can't really fault that!

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • It gave me a good vibe about the culture of the firm. I would have liked to know more, but I guess that comes from actually working within the firm.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • There were plenty of opportunities. Mostly in the evening though which did get tiring!

    5/5

    • These were good but by the end of the day, a lot of people were ready to call it a night, myself included.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • They have ample opportunities with clubs and societies which they promoted.

    4/5
