    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was well structured in terms of how much was planned for us in the little time we were there. However, I would have like a break in between as it was a bit overwhelming. Apart from that, I think the structure was good and there was lots of activities and talks planned for us. Very informative and interesting day.
