    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It opened my eyes to the number of different roles and pathways available to graduates. Also, the fact that once you join the firm your path is not set in stone, there is flexibility to choose a different pathway. This is especially evident in rotational roles whilst you are completing your APC.

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Felt like a very supportive culture, directors were willing to give up their time to talk with us as well as other employees. Everyone was willing to answer questions and provide their emails for follow up questions. Quite hard to get a real sense as it was a virtual experience so it would be interesting to see how it compares to in the office.
