    5/5

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

    • There were probably 25-30 individuals so it wasn't really specifically tailored, but they were more than willing to answer questions.

    4/5

    • It gave a real in sight into the firm and more specifically into actuarial, investment and rewards consulting!

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

    • There were slides detailing the mentality and ethos of the company. I think simply talking to staff, one could grasp the positive nature of the business.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Developed a real understanding into rewards consulting as I didn't really know what that meant. Helped me personally to decide between investment and actuarial consulting.

    • Everyone mingled very well!

    • Provided as much of an insight that anyone could have hoped for in a day! Although one will definitely have to eat their weetabix - it was a fully packed day.
