    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was quite well-structure, it is a shame that not all questions can be answered due to the virtual nature of the event.

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

    • Everyone was relaxed, approachable and friendly

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

    • Unfortunately, a virtual open day is not the best place to see a firm's investment in an individual, given that it is hard to genuinely have a conversation where the trainee/partner could express interest in you. Although, I really liked to fact that there were only about 40 participants. I really felt like there had been a selection process to allow us to have the best experience possible.

    3/5
  • 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?

    • The Q&A with the trainees/partners and the business game really helped to picture myself working in the firm.

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

    • Being able to talk to trainees, as well as partners who trained there a couple of years back really showed the investment and passion of the employees in the firm.

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

    • I feel like I can make an informed decision, and I'm confident the firm matches my values and interests

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • I feel like I can make an informed decision, and I'm confident the firm matches my values and interests

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

    • As much as the virtual nature of the event allows to. I could not ask questions to the partners, which was a shame.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Too few opportunities, though the business game was an innovative way that other firms do not offer.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • No speaker touched upon that, it has probably been difficult to socialise by other means than video or phone calls

    1/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I'm really hoping to be able to have a longer experience within the firm through a vacation scheme

    5/5
