    About You

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

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Although I knew my work was not overly important, they made sure I learned something form it and I received adequate feedback.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Enough without being babysat.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The presentations organised for us were very informative and insightful, and will surely help create a groundwork for later training contracts and plc studies

    4/5

  • Very well structured and organised.

    5/5

    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 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?
  • Of course vacation schemes are a breeze compared to really working at the firm, but they were all honest about the amount of time they spend at the office.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Quite a bit actually.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • My time at the firm was divvied among two departments, and it was clear to me that i preferred litigation a whole lot more to funds, although the lectures outside of work also demystified other practice areas.
