Working at Russell McVeagh over summer has been an awesome experience. The down to earth, friendly people made a potentially daunting first job a dream.
The people in my team really made it for me, they were patient and helpful to work with but also good fun on all the social events and functions. What really impressed me was the way Russell McVeagh looks after and treats summer clerks, including with paid holiday leave and a clothing allowance - so much better than what most of the other firms offered! Managing to get my first suit was cool! I was also pretty surprised but impressed when we got a Christmas present from the Partners as well.
