    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • This was a fantastic internship that gave me a huge amount of experience and knowledge.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt that my team massively appreciated the work I was doing because it made their lives easier and helped to relieve some of the pressures they faced day-to-day.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisor was exceptional. She supported me where she needed to and allowed me to get on with my own work. I was trusted to get on with my job but was also offered an open door for questions.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I worked in a very busy team which often meant working overtime to complete my workload. That being said, all of the work was rewarding and I did not mind staying behind to finish.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I covered the responsibilities of another team member when they went on annual leave and believe I was trusted like any full time employee.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My knowledge of in-house legal departments has increased inordinately. I believe this will be invaluable when applying for jobs and training contracts.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office was jovial and enjoyable and was rarely stuffy or awkward. Everyone was happy to speak to eachother and to have a laugh and equally, knew when to put their heads own and work.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I felt that Enterprise had carefully planned my induction and the internship evolved from there. I was never without things to do.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I was allowed time to work on applications for Training Contracts and my supervisor supported me in preparing the applications. Further, I was encouraged to attend networking events with law firms and to listen to webinars to increase my understanding of areas of law.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • 3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Enterprise would be a fantastic company to work for and I know that my supervisor is keen for me to stay in the business. I am still keen to pursue a Training Contract in private practice if possible but I would definitely consider a role here in the interim.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There was only one other intern with me and we didn't see each other very often. When we did, it was enjoyable.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Surrey is generally a pretty expensive area but Egham pretty reasonable.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Egham has little to no nightlife.

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Numerous - from volunteering to attending networking events.

    5/5
