    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I participated in the Dentons insight scheme and found the initiative really useful. The team was very helpful and engaging. I was really impressed that they took the time to answer all our questions. Not only that, though it was held by zoom I felt that there were enough activities to keep the entire event engaging. I enjoyed the negotiation exercise which really helped assist our soft skills when it came to negotiation as well.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt that it was really worth my time because I went in with a series of questions but every single question I had compiled was answered promptly and insightful. The organisers really put in the effort to ensure the insight event was engaging and informative and I really believe it was a value of my time.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I believe it was quite well structured. There was a proper flow with a clear introduction to the firm's goals, an activity to keep the attendees engaged, and finally having an interactive session to solve out doubts. I believe it was well structured as the time went by so quickly yet I felt everything needed was covered.
