As Meg said in a previous response, the teams are quite lean here (especially when compared to my previous firm) as such, when others are stretched, you often get the opportunity to pick things up which are beyond your years. Often these opportunities arise when you have worked with someone previously, shown that you can do the "simple" tasks correctly, and then you have their trust. Equally more senior associates/partners are very receptive to people putting themselves forward to do a first cut of things, and speaking them through the changes. On mentorship, I think both the senior associates and partners are very committed to associate development, and are always happy to explain and ensure you understand things. Ultimately, it makes their lives easier as, when you do the same task for them on another occasion, you will be better at it.2. Can't speak for trainees, but as you gain people's trust they will give you more and more responsibility (and ultimately, doing client facing work, replying to emails and staying on top of lots of moving pieces is a lot of responsibility). People are incredibly receptive to proactivity (not just in the sense of doing things without checking, but suggesting a course of action, or asking if you can move things forward).3. I really believed in what the partners said who interviewed me and was attracted to the leaner teams and gaining more responsibility. There are lots of firms that offer similar things, but the people here make it unique, and it is a great place to work.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
