    About You

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

    • It was a really insightful day, and I learned a lot about the culture of Taylor Wessing as well as had an opportunity to speak to current trainees for a genuine answer.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Everyone - the HR staff, Recruitment partners, trainees - were very welcoming, enthusiastic and approachable with any questions I had! I was truly surprised at how welcoming the staff would be and felt valued.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The presentations given by the Taylor Wessing team were well led and we had the chance to ask any questions after each one. In the group task, as expected, we were left to our own devices after being given clear instructions.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The Insight Day was useful in providing me with information and a feel for the law firm to aid my vacation scheme application next year.

    4/5

    The Company

    • The presentations were ordered well and the whole day ran according to the schedule.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The whole Insight Day had a very welcoming atmosphere - however it would've been nice to be placed in a room which had some windows as it was a lovely sunny day!

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There wasn't much opportunity for personal development on the Insight Day.

    2/5
  • 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?

    • We had the opportunity to talk to current trainees at lunch which was a great opportunity to gauge what it would be like to work at TW.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Meeting the staff and trainees gave me a very friendly impression of the firm, however I'm still unsure of what truly sets TW apart from other commercial law firms.

    3/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • After attending the Insight Day, I will definitely apply for a vacation scheme next year and am armed with information of how to best make that application.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • We were promised to have our travel expenses reimbursed, but I'm yet to receive payment.

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

    • We had a chance to talk to the recruitment team and current trainees.

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

    • We had a drinks reception at the end of the day, it would have been nice for the trainees or HR staff to join us though.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • When talking to the trainees at lunch, I asked about the social events which the firm hosts; they emphasised the comraderie between the trainee cohort.

    3/5
