    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • I think the Insight was really well-structured. Not only I assisted to many intersting networking events and speeches, but had the opportunity to work hand-to-hand with a Analyst and some Line Managers. Some times I had to do challenging tasks which I enjoyed a lot, but some others some basic task, given my basic notions of the Industry. I feel it was really a thrilling experience
