Various stages to the process. Initial application is fairly standard. Assessment day was genuinely interesting and enjoyable, different tasks made it more varied than other firms. Final interview stage is tough, although interviewers were very welcoming.

I applied online. I interviewed at Geldards LLP (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2025
Interview
Waste of time.
The first 2 stages were applicable and enjoyable.
The application form and legal test was great.
The assesment day was a joke. You work in groups to determine to stay or leave a asteroid. (They provided hardly any context) Then the next question is to design a social media app or escape room. Had I known the assesment day would be a complete joke. I wouldn't have wasted the annual leave.
It's a shame that's the feedback I received was generic considering this very lengthy application.
All in all I felt that the assesment day was utterly pointless and could really do with any legal aspect.
Had I continued in the process it would have been another day annual leave to take for the panel interview. This is not considerate of applicant's time.
