    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I have had the best year of my life - I can't recommend a Warner Bros placement enough.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued and a real asset to the team. My team was fairly small so although I was an intern I was an integral part of the team.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager was great at giving feedback, we had weekly catchups to cover my priorities and what I had previously done.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was very busy. My team was small so I was supporting a number of people - I don't see this as a negative however as I was always working on varied projects.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I felt like an integral part of the team and was given projects to head up which was great. I felt I was given as much responsibility as I wanted to take on, whilst still being able to ask for help when needed.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I am not sure how far the skills learned will get me with my degree. Practical skills like time management, prioritisation and project management are all skills I will take back to uni. I think the skills I learned on placement will primarily help me more when I am back in a corporate environment after uni.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • My team were very fun, and the wider department were all lovely. Everyone was always up for a quick chat. There are also so many other interns that you have an immediate network which is great as there was always a friendly face around.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Seamless.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There is a specific development programme for the interns which covered personal presentation skills, time management skill, project management skills and specific IT training. I think the development of the interns is a great perk of the internship scheme at WB.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There is no set graduation scheme so there's no guarantee that interns can return, but I think you are in a better position for future roles at WB if you have the internship on your CV.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes - there are so many interns that there is tonnes of socialising. It's very fun.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's London so rent was quite expensive and drinks are v expensive. Just look out for a great happy hour..

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Great - the office is very close to Soho/Covent Garden so there are bars and restaurants everywhere nearby.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes there are opportunities if you look for them. I volunteered to help at Comic Con this year which was an experience.
