    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The insight started with a quiz about the company. Next, we learned more about the company, met current employees, had a talk with graduates that recently started their job. After that, we had a team exercise after which we received valuable feedback.

    • I felt like the graduates were not specific enough in what their job involves.

    3/5

    • I understand company culture much better after the insight day.

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

    • I have learned that employees have a great social life despite the hard work and that they have plenty of time to volunteer.
