Experience during the program

While the bulk of the student body is made of consultants and engineers, Insead is very open to diverse profiles. International diversity is strong and underrepresented nationalities have excellent chances of entering the program. The students are supportive.
It is a great place if you want to go to consulting for a few years after your MBA, or if you have a cleat entrepreneurial project from the beginning.
The pace is very fast though, making it less suitable for people who are looking to gain deep knowledge in specific areas or to take the time to figure out what it is they want to do next.

About job placement process

Consulting companies all recruit from the school. Some rotational programs as well. For smaller corporate companies, you have to reach out by yourself.
December intake is great for going through the recruiting process twice and having the ability to try a different domain through an internship.

Without ever doing the work in my place, Fortuna pushed me to do it at my best. They really helped me synthesise my achievements, and choose which ones to present to best serve my stated goals. As I knew nobody among my friends, relatives or even acquaintances who had already applied to an MBA, working with Fortuna also helped me understand the hidden rules of this universe. It was also great to count on them for proofreading, as a non native English speaker. Finally, I appreciated the "team spirit", timeline, feedback and encouragement.

The storytelling work that Nonie helped me perform was also useful to me later for job applications.
