    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The scheme was very well structured but I would've liked to have had a bit more time to prepare for the assessment centre which took place on the last day of the scheme.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Everyone at the firm was extremely welcoming and friendly and those of us that were on the scheme got on really well. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

    • 5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • The itinerary for the scheme ensured that we were given as much time in our departments as possible. This ensured that our supervisors were able to delegate work to us in a similar way as they do to trainees while we experienced the time pressures of managing our workload alongside additional activities such as business development.
