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

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

    • There was lots of information about the firm and its different sectors and then support was given as it was needed with work.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Structure was adequate and well communicated. Everything ran smoothly.

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

    • Very friendly, very open. Engaging.

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

    • There wasn't much specific training, it was more practical and help was given as needed.

    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?

    • There is nothing like a vacation scheme to truly understand what it might be like to work at the phone full time. I don't know any firms as well as I do Taylor Wessing.

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

    • From my past encounters with the firm I expected Taylor Wessing to have a positive culture and my experience backed this up.

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

    • The scheme formed a large part of my decision on which Training Contract to accept.

    3/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Paid.

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

    • There was the opportunity to meet fee earners in each department, as well as trainees from across the firm.

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

    • The social events were well organised and fun.

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

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

    • If anyone is interested in a career in Commercial Law, I would recommend considering Taylor Wessing and there is no better way to get to know the firm than by gaining a place on the vacation scheme. As with most firms, it is also an excellent way to get a Training Contract.
