  • I felt valued as soon as I walked through the door. All the people seemed to be genuinely interested in learning more about me and my interest in the firm. Everyone was so accessible, easy to talk and eager to answer all my questions about their work and personal experience so far with the firm. This made me feel very valued and well looked after.

    5/5

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The attention and investment given to us throughout the Open Day was excellent and adequate for the purpose of the even itself. I cannot think of anything else that Taylor Wessing could have done to enhance my overall experience.

    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?
  • Yes - the talks given by partners and the interaction with current trainees at the firm were immensely helpful for me in finding out what a full time role with the firm actually entails and what the expectations of the post are.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Insight into the firm's culture was greater that I could have hoped. The culture of Taylor Wessing is unique and truly forward-thinking - something that was always reiterated throughout the day and backed up with real examples from partners and trainees.

    Everything Else

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

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • The networking lunch and networking drinks at the end of the day provided plenty of opportunities to speak to people from the firm throughout the day. This truly helped me build a relationship with the firm and most importantly with the people there.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Networking sessions were once again very well-planned and looked after. The informal lunch and final drink session allowed us the opportunity to ask any question to the graduate recruitment team and trainees in a more relaxed and informal way.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, there are a lot of sport activities and social events that employees can get involved in outside of work which is great for a healthy work-life balance!
