[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 219481, member: 42112"] Hi! I totally get that - it can feel disheartening when a firm that you were excited about doesn't feel right in person. It's actually a good thing you noticed now though - culture is really important, and it's better to find out now rather than later :) If you still love their work, you could apply and see how their vacation scheme feels, but if the vibe seemed off, maybe look into other firms with similar sectors but a culture that suits you better. I would agree with previous replies and say that Legal Cheek can be a great way of finding out this information, or even attending more open days. [/QUOTE]
