I think it’s just about each individual vacation scheme student considering what’s important/non negotiable for their career and then making sure they either look for those elements for the scheme or at least ask different people about their experiences that would demonstrate those elements.

There will always be an element of firms showing off their best aspects in a scheme. Vacation schemes themselves are rarely a true insight into the realities of being a trainee, so trying to get a more in-depth insight by asking questions to those who are in the reality is usually a good approach if you aren’t able to observe it.
