    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I could not have had a better experience working at this company, especially within my department. I have been able to work on some incredible films and even when it gets really busy, our team has such a great time. I have been truly lucky to work here!

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • My colleagues have been so respectful and have always treated me like one of them and not just an intern. I feel comfortable to give my opinions and this makes me feel more a part of the team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I have been really lucky with management as they have never failed to give me the support I have needed, not just work-wise but personally as well. There is never a stupid question for them and this has helped me to grow faster and with a lot of confidence to take on projects on my own.

    3/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Unbelievably busy. I cannot believe the amount of work that we have been able to get done, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. There are often late nights and working non-stop through the day, but it is completely worth it.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • So much responsibility! Everyone in the team is copied in the same emails so we all work on everything. I honestly stopped feeling like an intern within the first couple months in the job! That being said, I never feel like I have too much responsibility. If I am ever worried about a project, my team are supportive so I never feel like I am alone.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My degree is completely unrelated so it will not really help with that! However I would imagine it would have helped had I did a course in marketing or business!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • When you are working this long with a team every day 5 days a week, it is hard to not see your colleagues as a family. Consequently, there is usually a warm atmosphere in the office, most people are really friendly and welcoming.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think this was really organised, I always knew where I needed to be and I got all the relevant documents on time when I started. If I didn't know what was going on, there were always people around who could tell me.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There were a few training sessions, some of which I don't think I found very helpful but I imagine they were helpful for others. Honestly the best training I had was working on the job and that has really developed me the most.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    Travel loan

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • There is not a grad scheme at Warner however they always call back old interns whenever new opportunities arise. I would love to come back to the company as it has been such a pleasure.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I did not really experience this as I kept more to my team than to the other interns. I find this was probably because I was on a different floor from a lot of the interns. I am aware that the interns did organised a lot of events amongst themselves, but I have not been very interested in most of these.

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Very expensive! But that is London for you. I don't mind so much because I have always lived in London but it is definitely a thing to consider.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I am not much for the nightlife to be honest but obviously it is London so you are in the heart of everything. I am sure there are plenty things to do.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are but to be honest when you are so busy with work you want to have as much time top yourself as possible!

    3/5
