Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A day-to-day would look a bit different each day, but a rough outline would be:
- I would head into the office at 9am and enjoy free breakfast
- I start my day at 9:30am. I would normally clarify my schedule with my supervisor and any tasks I have.
The day would continue with a mixture of:
- coffee chats
- scheduled seminars (on each practice area)
- meetings with my team members for our group presentations
- tasks in the department
I would normally go home at around 6pm.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was pretty clear from the start the roles and progression.
A vacation scheme was the only way to be considered for a training contract.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
This is actually the best culture I saw. Everyone was super friendly. Everyone was very generous with their time and gave you the attention and support you needed. This is definitely a massive selling point of the firm, and everyone feels this way. I actually felt energised going back home, not tired because the culture was great.
