    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • A great vacation scheme. Everyone was really approachable and not at all terrifying.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • The work I was given was real work and not just something that had been made up.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • I always received feedback on my work and I was told to always ask any questions that I may have.

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

    • I learnt a lot about how to work within a firm but mostly it motivated me to excel myself in my career aspirations having experienced what it would be like once qualified and beyond. The exercises and assessment were also good experience for future ones.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured - all feedback is welcomed and sought by the firm and they put a lot of effort into improving it.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Everyone works hard and even during stressful periods, the senior members were joking around and inspiring others to maintain a positive attitude. Definitely a great place to work.

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

    • There were plenty of internal opportunities to learn something and receive a bit of training, but generally it was about getting stuck into some real legal work.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • As well as reasonably could have. The trainees were heavily involved in the process and took it upon themselves to interact with us and give details about the firm.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Very well. You learn a lot from the open planned environment (not consistent throughout the firm) as you generally see and overhear how they work. Staff are more than happy to explain something to you.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Valuable, it has motivated me and I know what type of firm I want to work at.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Paid for the week.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes, plenty.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • At least 2 with additional ones being arranged during the week.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • A lot of sports and extra curricular things. The firm is quite supportive of new ideas apparently.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes absolutely.
