About You
It was very interactive and interesting. I particularly enjoyed learning about the extent of the firm's Pro Bono involvement. The partners that spoke to us were interesting and engaging. The group activities were also particularly fun and the socials were good too.
We were given time to ask questions and given in-depth answers.
We weren't left to our own devices and were supported when we needed help.
It may not be directly relevant to studies but I definitely learnt skills that will be helpful when it comes to applications, employability and pro bono work.
The Company
Each day was full and had helpful talks and activities. The social activities at the end of the day were also a great opportunity to meet other candidates and get to know them.
This was the best scheme I've been on so far in terms of atmosphere. The graduate recruitment team were friendly and the candidates were also particularly friendly too. I genuinely feel a bit sad that the scheme is over now!
