    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • It was very interesting, lots of applicants attended and they had many trainees available to talk to us - many more than I usually see at events such as these so I was pleasantly surprised and happy

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • As mentioned previously, they had many trainees come down to chat and talk with us, lots of trainees came and went as they were available so it felt like they invested resources into us.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Lots of trainees to talk with and offer different advice pertaining to different departments they were working in - also graduate recruitment was very insightful and happy to help and be on hand.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The event was very useful in providing an insight into the capital market, explaining some technical terms in a way which was easy to understand - I am sure this knowledge will be useful later

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Structured similarly to other events such as these - packed full of activities with a tight schedule - but they did cover a lot of material in a short period of time and left plenty of room for networking

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

    • Friendly, not too formal but not informal either

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 3/5
  • 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?

    • Difficult to tell with such a short term spent at the firm but the trainees were very good at expressing their opinion of their work and lifestyle - also met a range of trainees so had an overview

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Yes, to a certain extent they did not overly promote themselves as being friendly and personable - which some firms like to emphasis - but you could see from the trainees what type of work they did

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • very good to see the firm and speak to the people and see whether I liked the firm and the atmosphere - was definitely more motivated to apply for future opportunities after the event

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • as stated before, we had a surprising amount of people to network with at the networking session this meant there was less competition to talk to trainees and you could meet a range of people

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • There were not any social events planned but the networking session acted partially as a social event - since they made it more relaxed by providing canapes and gathering everyone in one room

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • 3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes, anyone interested in an international law firm based in the city with a stellar reputation should be looking to apply for events here - personal experience is the best point of view.
