About You
Moderate amounts of fun. Could have been more activities.
They make you feel very valued during the week, but do not expect much after this time.
There was a lot of guidance and support.
Nothing major, the activities were overly relaxed and not taken too seriously.
The Company
The day plan was structured, but there was not too much to do in the evenings.
The atmosphere was rather pleasant and very accommodating to everyone's different interest. You were bound to find someone else there who you had something in common with.
Very very little. I was a unique case though, but the process after was very laboured and not worth all the effort put in.
This was done very well and a fairly detailed day-to-day routine was established of each role.
Once you're in they will work with you to establish your goals
Not very. If one had researched up about the company and the positions, you probably would have a strong enough grounding anyways. For me it was just there to boost the knowledge of other roles that i had never considered before.
Everything Else
Your expenses were reimbursed. The process was very well done and I got my money reimbursed within a few weeks.
Yes
Well run, you met partners and MD's
There were some mentions of social events and sporting opportunities, as well as charity events.
I would recommend this to first year students, but watch out with any surprises that you may have in your course. They may not be as accommodating then....
