Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were seamlessly transferred by graduate recruitment to very insightful sessions. We listened to talks from various employees, ranging from trainees to senior partners to the managing director of the whole UK. We also learned a lot about the different diversity member network the firm has. Overall the experience has given me a great insight into the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The graduate recruitment team made it extremely easy to absorb information and they explained any issues with clarity.
