The Role
The people absolutely made the experience for me. Everyone was really helpful and friendly and took great interest in my future.
I got lots of feedback commenting on this and was always reminded what a great help having that extra pair of hands was.
Having a councellor that took genuine interest in my future if I were to join the firm was so encouraging. The buddy system gave me an extra area of support and my manager was really friendly and approachable.
Some days were busy with project work or smaller jobs, some days however were slower.
I was always given support and never felt I was being given too much responsibility, which suited me.
Gained very valuable people skills and confidence. Specific work is not relevant to my course.
The Company
Really good fun environment within and between teams.
Had a few confusions about organising a partner shadow day but other than this everything ran very well for me.
Everyone seemed really supportive in helping me take part in anything than interested me.
I accepted as soon as I was offered!
The Culture
Everyone bonded very quickly and lots of social events were organised.
London is very expensive!
Apart from the cost, London is the best place to be for this!
Lots was organised for the students and by the students.
