The Role
A really fun and interesting place to work and the staff at RPC make a great effort to really involve you in everything.
There wasn't a time during the whole placement that I was left with nothing to do - I was given proper work and involved in the department's cases.
The Company
I think that the firms culture is very unique. The one thing that quickly struck me is that there is a really collaborative element within and across departments. People are constantly bouncing ideas off of each other and helping one another in their work, and I think this reflects the way the firm values team work and also that staff really respect each other. In a similar respect, I feel that the people at RPC are very down to earth and that there isn’t a hierarchical atmosphere – the open plan offices really do make everybody a lot more approachable and I was asked on more than one occasion to attend meetings by partners and associates which I really appreciated.
There were constant briefings and presentations - associates and partners constantly made sure that we learnt about the firm.
