The exams are tough and sometimes badly organised but I enjoy the work I am involved in.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is poorly organised, with little consideration being given to the structure of the exams. I am given conflicting information and I often have to chase materials myself, which can take months.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Those in my team are very supportive but I do not feel to have the same support from the wider firm. The Early Careers team often fail to give adequate support.
