  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Handovers are really good between change over of staff, there is always room to move the job role truly your own, learn new tips on the way and really develop yourself on essential skills such as time mangement, communication, team working etc.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Always something to do, always chance to prove yourself in project that you handed, you are never just an admin staff or "tea-grabber", what ever you do will effect the performance of the brand you work on. Great opportunities to really strench yourself in the coporate world.

  • So far I've been given the chance to work on my own product launch for a (new product) to consumers, really exciting and the best project that I have worked on thus far. really looking forward to seeing results from sales. You really get exposure to all the little and big things that need to be done to make a launch successful.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • We work hard and play hard. every brand in the company has a chance hosts an internal launch party for the staff, which is always exciting. there are also social places that we do often go to "chill". Interns do go out together a lot, majority of the time at the end of each month, but we do come together in our own times as well.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • there is a balance, as long as you search well for a house that has a decent rent per month, your socail life wont lack because of lack of funds. don't be afriad to commute.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • GREAT!! Its nice when the interns get together to local bars (B@1 - great cocktails), or up to central london on a night out.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Make yourself heard, and they will try there very best to help you and your idea.

    4/5
