About You
Learnt stuff, but the neverending presentations were boring.
Would have appreciated more networking or small-group mentored tasks.
A lot of generic stuff, nothing that I couldn't have found from surfing the web.
Group tasks sessions on agile development was really good.
The Company
Would have liked more work shadowing and fewer presentations.
Very busy!
It was a spring week, so that inherently limited what could be done.
The networking sessions with former graduates were really useful.
Didn't do any proper company work, so difficult to say.
Definitely helped me to decide what I really wanted for my career.
Everything Else
The odd lunch and regularly the people who ran the sessions.
Good. Useful. Would've liked more networking lunches.
Didn't learn much about day-to-day life.
It certainly helped me find out more about what I really wanted.
