    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • If you are willing to throw yourself into fully, with enthusiasm and commitment and say yes to every opportunity, you cannot fail to have a good time.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Everyone knows your name before you meet them (pictures sent around by HR prior to arrival). Its a brilliant tactic and makes you feel welcome from day 1. Even the partners drop in for a chat. Great people.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Everyone is on hand to help and happy to.

    5/5

    • Faultless.

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

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5

    • Difficult to say how likely but there is no question about wanting it!

    4/5

    The Culture
