Legal Intern Review

My placement at Oracle has been amazing. I am currently studying Law at University and seeing how the law is applied in a commercial setting brings the subject to life. Oracle have been great at getting every intern involved in a vast array of activities and events that I will never forget.

My team were very welcoming from the beginning and were instantly good at giving me work to do and trusting my judgment regarding issues that we would look at together.

As well as having regular meetings with management to discuss workload and targets for my placement year, there is always day to day support available for interns to get feedback on their work and even non-work related issues.

As with anything, there are times where you are busier than others. However, at Oracle I have been given a number of project based tasks that would occupy my time if there was no immediate work that needed attention. This set-up meant that I would never have nothing to do.

With a legal placement, it is difficult to be given total responsibility over matters as I am not a qualified lawyer at this stage. However, with this being said, there are many instances where I have been given the lead role in dealing with queries that come across the Legal department with only soft guidance from my colleagues.

This placement year has been invaluable for me. There are genuinely countless different training sessions and general professional lessons that i have learnt on a day to day basis that will serve me well during my final year studies and past that, being able to find a permanent role post graduation.

Very friendly environment where you do not fell out of place!

The intern program at Oracle has been filled with a vast amount of opportunities and activities that are geared towards learning and developing professional skills as well as receiving lessons from professionals in the business that have been in our shoes and made it to a respected high level in their field.

The sheer amount of development sessions that were put on for the intern program were simply amazing. So many sessions ranging from presenting to online presence in a professional capacity. I feel as if I have developed my professional self great amounts during my year at Oracle.

It is a definite consideration of mine to potentially return to Oracle post university.

Great. The intern program is huge, meaning there are plenty of interns to interact with.

Reading as a whole is quite an expensive area. However, i feel the pay received on the placement allows interns to live comfortably.

Good nights out with lots of different types of events/ places to go out.

This is what you make it. Reading as a town has plenty of opportunities to do almost anything, you just have to find it!
