Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
5/5
it involved getting a variety of people who work there from a variety of different sectors and hearing more about what they do along with some interactive tasks such as a debate and a statutory task!
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
5/5
It was really informative as someone who doesn't know anyone in the legal sector and the interactive tasks such as the debate were fun to do as well so overall I really enjoyed it.
How well organised was your work experience?
5/5
very well organised
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
5/5
It made me think more about apprenticeships but it also reassured me that if I didn't study law at university then it wouldn't necessarily be a disadvantage
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
5/5
no, it was work experience
Skills Development
What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
5/5
I definitely feel as though I've learnt how to read with a more legal approach and understanding terminology from the resources provided. I couldn't tell you how an act was written a day ago!
Company Culture
How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?
5/5
I learnt a lot and overall it seems like a well-balanced place to work and especially train, it doesn't seem to have a massively cut-throat culture as opposed to horror stories you hear about large commercial firms!
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
5/5
yes
Recommendations and Advice
Would you recommend Pinsent Masons LLP to a friend?
Yes
Why?
friendly culture and the fact that they even offer a work experience programme gives me good vibes (not really sure how to write that any differently ahaha)
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Pinsent Masons LLP?
be yourself
