    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • As before, the day flew by and was 100% Seamless in transitions.

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

    • Great friendly environment, which facilitated discussion between current employees, current Vacation Scheme students, and everyone (including myself) on the Open Day.

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

    • The one main skill session on Negotiations, but there was limited time, so it was important to gain a good understanding of culture and other areas too.

    4/5
  • 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?

    • So many opportunities for questions - all were answered. But (potentially due to limited time) we only heard about the lives of trainees and didn't witness anything first hand. No complaints nonetheless.

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

    • As much as I believe can be got from a single day.

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

    • Confirms my intentions to pursue a career as a solicitor.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Up to £100 in ticket costs, and told in advance well before the Open Day itself.

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

    • We met so many people and really had time to talk to them and get to know them.

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

    • The environment created was perfectly comfortable and relaxed yet still maintaining the air of professionalism.

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

    • We heard about many of the sporting opportunities, but this wasn't the focus of the talks.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I doubt I'll go to a better Open Day.

    5/5
