    5/5

    5/5

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The balance of presentations and activities I felt maximised the relatively brief amount of time we spent at the open day - it went quickly, yet it was remarkable how much was fitted in.

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

    • The people at the firm as well as fellow attendees were friendly and lively people and helped reassure me that this was the sort of culture I would enjoy developing within.

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

    • The number of trainees and time committed to us made me feel that Taylor Wessing takes it hires seriously and that in turn, I would be a valued team member.

    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?

    • The amount that can be fit into a single day is limited and there was not, say, a negotiation workshop. Nonetheless it was valuable to prioritise a commercial awareness activity and was more than I expected from an open day.

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

    • See previous comments. Very much so!

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

    • After the open day, I cannot imagine how anyone would be able to apply convincingly without the access afforded to us and I would recommend this opportunity to anyone interested in the firm.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Very reasonable, and efficiently administered right at the start of the event.

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

    • Plenty. Lunch was a great way to meet trainees informally and get a sense of the sort of people the firm was looking to hire.

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

    • See previous question.

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

    • Limited scope for this admittedly, though might have been nice to elaborate further on the various international and pro bono opportunities.

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

    • Absolutely! As I said I can't imagine how one could apply convincingly without it.
