The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of being involved with Warner Bros., from the everyday tasks to working with my team and other members of the company, to the social side with the other interns working there.
Very much so. Colleagues would always be sure to show appreciation for work done well, particularly those within the team / department.
Weekly 1-2-1's with my manager which involved a catch-up, glance at work over the upcoming week, as well as checking on my 'CHAT' progress (which in turn looks at my development as a whole over the year).
Work was manageable, and as you went through the year more projects get added to your schedule. It is up to you as an employee to ask for more work if you feel as though you can handle more.
Way more than expected. By the end of the year I was given the opportunity to project manage 2 releases, as well as having a large role in the remaining releases from early in the Placement Year.
Very much so. Warner Bros. gave me a great chance to learn technical skills as well as qualitative skills which will assist me after university.
The Company
Very friendly with lots of open communication. Managers can be easily approached at all times for guidance. As well as friendly employees in general, and a lot of other interns close by to interact with, there are also many opportunities to get closer to everyone at the start of the year.
Seamless aside from some issues with getting set-up on finance systems etc.. this can be fixed very early on in the year though.
Multiples HR-led training events were useful, but the CHAT system which is done 1-on-1 with a manager is definitely the main driver behind this (although this may vary in other roles depending on the manager you have).
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Travel loan
Warner Bros. does not offer a grad scheme, but many of the employees in the department are former interns, and when you leave you're put on a mailing list for new job offers.
The Culture
With around 50 other interns it's very easily to socialise even if you don't decide to live in London for the year. The Marketing Department is especially packed with other interns.
Living / commuting is expensive, socialising is obviously more expensive than at university but still very manageable.
Always plenty to do, even if it is expensive at times.
Screenings, premieres, fitness classes, company days and more..
