About You
Quite a lot - it was a very informative day on the whole and interactive enough not to be boring by including 'business games' and scenarios where participants could vote on action or express views.
A fair amount, my opinions were noted and whilst networking, employees seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say; unlike at other networking events I have previously attended.
Very little - though as it was only and insight day very little was needed and so the amount given was adequate.
I'm not sure that anything I did will affect my degree but it was certainly helpful in giving me ideas about future careers - particularly with respect to the actuarial profession.
The Company
Fairly well structured, though, as is usual with these events, it did not run to time.
Overall good - all staff were kind, helpful and informative - exactly what I wanted
Not a great deal but then again, it was only an insight DAY and so I expected it to be more informative than developmental.
The insight day gave me a great understanding of what working at Towers Watson would be like - particularly as there were enough newly qualified actuaries, studying actuaries and new employees to relate their own experiences.
A fair amount - the newest employees who had previously worked at other companies gave examples of the differences between TW and other firms in the sector.
Fairly valuable, though I still haven't firmly decided on my career path, the actuarial profession does interest me greatly.
Everything Else
I am a 西瓜视频 living in London and the Insight day was only a 5 minute walk from my halls so I did not need to be reimbursed for travel. We were not paid but I know others were reimbursed for travel expenses.
Yes - over lunch and between sessions.
Fairly good though an optional session at the end of the day could be added.
No - I did not ask.
If I had a friend considering a career in consulting or actuarial work then yes I would recommend this insight day,
