  • 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 we weren't actually working within the firm's offices or working on actual projects we couldn't get real experience of what it would be like to work there but we were given so much information and advice that we were still able to get a really good idea of what it would be like.

    5/5

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • We were given so much in terms of experience and opportunity that there was no need to pay us. It was very fair of them to reimburse our travel expenses though.

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

    • Representatives from many different areas of the firm were around to chat and share their experiences which was really useful.

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

    • The partner dinner allowed us an opportunity to talk to more senior members of the firm which was really interesting. Throughout the entire academy the facilitators were around to chat to so it didn't feel to formal or intimidating to ask other questions or advice.

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

    • No particular emphasis on activities outside of work although we did get to ask employees about their work-life balance.

    2/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Absolutely amazing week in every way - I'd definitely recommend it!
