About You
Gave a great insight into the company and helped me to understand what it was all about.
Very valued, the activities and talks were very inclusive and encouraged the participation of everyone on the programme
Much guidance and assistance was given from senior members of the firm
Very beneficial. I feel that I received improvement to many skills but primarily of presentation and interview question answering.
The Company
Perhaps could have flowed better and timings were a bit vague, but everything that the scheme had advertised was covered and covered thoroughly
Perfect balance between business games and case studies, and informative talks and presentations
Ensured that we gained interview and presentation practice
Very detailed explanation of the different sections of the company, and what each specific role would entail
Helpful as we met lots of different members of the firm, but ultimately we were in a boardroom for the whole course so did not really get that much exposure to the company culture
Very clearly highlighted that I want to be a part of the firm, and also helped me to understand which area of the firm I would like to participate in
Everything Else
Travel expenses were covered
Some degree of opportunity, but perhaps could have had more of an opportunity. The dinner event was rather exclusive, restricting networking opportunities to those that had sat next to the employees.
Same as above, good but perhaps could have been increased
Wide variety, ranging from sport to pub events
Yes, most insightful and gave a really clear understanding about what the company is all about
