    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Very enjoyable, learnt a tremendous amount and would not change the time I spent at the firm for anything. Every single individual that I was fortunate enough to meet, had an incredible background and was extremely interesting to talk to. Through such meetings, I was able to get a taste of the firm’s culture. Employees at all levels were extremely approachable and willing to talk to me as an intern, highlighting the inclusive and welcoming nature that prevails in the culture they all passionately stand for! Moreover, the intellectual challenge presented by the group projects that we participated in, both in terms of tackling technical problems but also understanding how to behave in constantly changing and evolving teams were also two aspects that made the insight a joyful experience. All in all, the opportunity to be a part of the team like spirit present throughout the firm as well as the chance to challenge myself in a professional environment were the key reasons that made my two weeks at the firm, tremendously enjoyable!
