About You
I enjoyed the insight immensely. It was very interactive and there was a wide array of sessions. All the information we received was intriguing.
I felt incredibly valued as all of the employees were genuinely interested in talking to us and answering any questions we had. A clear future at the firm has been laid out should we be further successful.
We received a lot of guidance to take on board with regard to our employability and also our career path and so I am now set on what I want to do.
Everything we did will certainly be helpful for our future. There were plenty of networking opportunities as well as the group project which honed our research, teamwork and debating skills.
The Company
The insight had a clear structure which was laid out on the first day and timings were near perfect. We were kept busy but never overworked.
The atmosphere was generally fantastic. Everyone was really enthusiastic; energy levels only tailed off towards the end of a long first day.
The company has invested a lot in us by clearly explaining what they look for when hiring someone.
I understood this clearly during one session when we received a presentation from an employee currently working in our chosen line of service and we were able to ask him any questions we had.
The firm's culture was emphasised throughout and it was clear to feel it when speaking to employees. The culture is what has attracted me in particular to working at the firm.
The aforementioned session with an employee in my chosen line of service confirmed to me that that is what I want to do. I was able to find out many things from this insight that would not otherwise have been possible.
Everything Else
Travel costs will be reimbursed.
There were many opportunities. We were able to speak to many employees, including partners at dinner, from a variety of departments.
The networking opportunities were great, but there could have been more of them to get to know everyone better in such a short space of time.
I found out about some activities from speaking to a couple of employees, but this topic was not really addressed during the insight.
I absolutely would. I myself was recommended this insight by a friend and I am extremely grateful he did.
