    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

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

    • It was only a week, so there wasn't much opportunity to. But workshops such as the negotiation exercise were very useful and gave an insight into the skills needed by a solicitor.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There could have been more opportunities to spend time with the other students, since we were mainly work shadowing in different departments. The group still managed to bond quickly though!

    • 5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
