Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day, we were given a task to complete by the end of the day and we had a Unit talk every 2 hours.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We were exposed to the conglomerate and other aspects of the business but very briefly. A lot of things they mentioned was on the website, which reflects positively on Gateley as it shows they are transparent
