About You
The vacation placement gave me a good insight into the work and lifestyle of a trainee and the culture and vision of the firm.
I felt this improved through the vac scheme as I was trusted with more challenging work. Though that was to be expected!
As much guidance/support as I needed (within reason).
I think it will improve my skills for other assessment days and hopefully here if I manage to secure a training contract.
The Company
It was incredibly well structured, there were practice presentations every day and social events every other day. I probably would have appreciated a couple more free days, but then we would have been able to fit everything in.
Great. The people here are amazing.
They invested a lot of time in my development in terms of presentations, meetings, etc.
Apart from the fact that some of the socials meant our events were knocked off early, I feel it was a good indication of what it would be like to work at the firm (in this department).
The presentations, socials with trainees and partners, and generally working environment really gave a good indication of this.
Not really, I'd already made my decision.
Everything Else
拢500 (minus tax).
As said above, socials, lunches, bowling...
Fab.
Sports, charity events.
Yes definitely. It gave me a really good understanding of the firm's culture and vision.
