About You
I really enjoyed the Winter Vacation Scheme. I got a great insight into the firm's departments and culture. Everyone that I met was very approachable and welcoming.
I felt extremely valued throughout my time at the firm. I was given a wide variety of tasks, and everyone took the time to answer any questions I had and provide feedback on the work I undertook.
The trainee buddy I was assigned was an invaluable source of guidance and support during the insight.
I received very useful information on the Employment department, where I was sitting, as well as other departments through networking events, which has provided me with great assistance in terms of my seat preferences.
The Company
Everything Else
There were various opportunities: Welcome drinks on the first day, a brunch with the partners, and a speed networking event, along with lunches and department-specific talks/events.
