Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was very good, learned a lot of new concepts that I did not know before and was good to meet new people throughout. On a day-to-day basis, we would log in for registration and then would have a series of fun activities, presentations and case study group work.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful to learn about the business and the way that they operate and overall a fun experience as it seems like a good place to work. The potential roles are plentiful as well so there are options available within the company.
