    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my time at the firm. I would recommend it.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I don't think this really reflects the placement or people, they were lovely, but there is limited value that a second year non-lawyer can add to an international law firm.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Really constructive. I learnt a lot.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Again, this doesn't really reflect the placement. There is sometimes a limited amount of work that can be delegated to interns, but there was always the opportunity to go and find work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I felt that the work delegated was catered to my capabilities.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • An excellent insight into trainee life.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Great people.

    4/5

    • Really well structured.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was allowed to attend trainee lessons and the firm made efforts to give us an insight into the requisite skills for a commercial solicitor.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would happily work there.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Very good fun.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's central London.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • What you make of it.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
