I won’t be aware of every way a firm does this and there will be multiple combinations, so think about the following:- who is your supervisor and what is their seniority? Do you have more than one?- do you have some form of mentor that also guides you? If so, who are they (a fellow trainee, an associate, a partner)?- do you sit in an office with your supervisor(s) or is it an open plan office where you could be sat next to them? With remote working how does that type of close working practically work?- do you have a secretary or not?- Are paralegals based in the same office as your or are they outsourced to another location? Do you even have paralegals?- How does the review/feedback system work? At the end of a seat, mid-way through a seat? Only at designated times of the year aligned with other employees?
