    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The work was varied and exciting, you got involved in a wide range of deals during the 2 weeks. The firm gives a good training programme before the placement in the London office so you know what to expect from the placement. During the 2 weeks there are a number of practice presentations from all the departments which give a great insight into the firm. The social side is great- meals, treasure hunts and drinks are just a few things you can get involved in. You also get an in depth knowledge about the CSR programme.
