Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

WTW Insight Programme was brilliant. I gained exposure to global financial services across investments, risk advisory, and institutional asset management through case studies and interactive sessions.

How would you rate the structure of the insight

5/5

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Genuinely eye-opening as before the programme, I thought of WTW mainly as an insurance broker, but the insight days showed how much broader the business actually is.

Please rate how insightful you found the insight

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I certainly developed new skills throughout the programme such as networking, creating a personal brand as well as how to problem solve effectively.

5/5

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The culture came across as collaborative and knowledge-sharing, rather than competitive. People seemed happy to explain their own paths into the business and were open about what they found challenging, not just the polished version of their roles. They stressed the importance of being curious and always asking questions.

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

I truly enjoyed the insight. The part I found most valuable was hearing employees talk through their own career journeys; it was one thing to read about the different paths into the business, but hearing people speak honestly about how their roles had actually evolved, what they'd found challenging, and why they'd chosen WTW over other paths gave me a much more realistic sense of what a career there could look like.
