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

    • To the extent that its possible to judge this during an open day, it is clear that Taylor Wessing values its recruitment process in selecting the best and the brightest. This was clear from the Managing CEO talking to us right through to the amazing job that Sarah did with the organisation!

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

    • The trainee assigned to us during the business game did his very best to assist us and was very helpful! Other than that, the day was well structured with a clear focus on helping us through the recruitment process.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • A clear outline and timetable delivered from the start. The day ran exactly to the structure given with time for breaks inbetween.

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

    • Friendly, collegiate with a real emphasis on what it is like to work at Taylor Wessing and what makes it different. Very useful.

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

    • More than investing at this point, it was a future commitment to training. I felt in safe hands!

    5/5
  • 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?

    • Networking with trainees, partners and associates gave a real opportunity to learn about the atmosphere within the firm. They didn't try and pull the wool over our eyes and gave us a real day-to-day breakdown of work here.

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

    • Again, talking to the people who work at a firm is the only way you can really understand the culture. We were given plenty of opportunities to do so right from partner level!

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

    • It was more focused on the application process than the work itself. That is on the vacation scheme, which the open day was designed to prepare you for.

    4/5

    Everything Else

    5/5
