    About You

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the insight day. The day was varied, with a mixture of presentations (led by graduate recruiters and partners) and hands-on activities. I particularly enjoyed the group exercise and the opportunity to present our proposals to the partners. The day strengthened my resolve to apply to the firm for a vacation scheme.

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

    • I felt extremely valued during my time at the firm as everyone was extremely friendly. I appreciated the detailed response to any queries I had and left the offices feeling as though I had all the information I could possibly have gained from the day.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • There was plenty of support during the first part of the day, however, there was less guidance during the group exercise. This was something I preferred, however, as it gave a more accurate reflection of what a group exercise would be like at an assessment centre. We were given plenty of feedback on the exercise enabling us to improve in future scenarios.

    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 group exercise was what developed the most skills. It enhanced my experience of working in a team and working to a deadline.

    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?

    • There were plenty of opportunities, both over lunch and once the activities were finished for the day.

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

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

    • I found out about these activities through networking with trainees, so whilst it wasn't really a part of the presentations, the information was available should attendees choose to seek it out.

    5/5
