Ideal Employer 2014
Were delighted to announce that GWW took 4th place among law firms and 9th place among legal and advisory firms in the Legal category of the Ideal Employer 2014 ranking, according to the 2013-14 Universum Student Survey.
The result shows that according to current law students, were part of a small group of the most desirable employers in the field of professional services.
In the Legal category, students selected 50 firms that they see as being worthy of the title of ideal employer — a list that included just seven “classic” law firms. The top three places were taken by EY, Google Poland and the TVN television network.
The ranking also shows that law students find firms that offer high compensation and good career prospects to be the most attractive. Companies that value their employees and offer environmentally friendly workplaces are also in demand.
The ranking was compiled by Universum, an international consulting firm that specialises in employer branding. More information is available on Universums website.
