    The Role

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

    • Dream job - the type of company that if you work hard and demand the best, you get the most out of the experience !

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

    • The internship structure is one week of introduction, 8 weeks to work on a project, the final week to present and handover. This means you are in charge of your own project and when you interact with your team/manager they listen and value your efforts and perspective . In the end, you may know more about the project than your own colleagues (even if you’re “just an intern”) !!

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

    • Due to the structure of “owning” your assigned project , you are given constant support and guidance on how to go about these things. I personally had a great experience however the guidance given varies if your manager is out on holiday for a couple days or has lots of deadlines.

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

    • There was always more to do! In terms of content and structure my project was done relatively early in the internship but this just meant I kept working until the last day to get it perfect. The company culture means you strive for quality so always have something to work on and always explore different ways of finding a solution.

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

    • My project was a big responsibility. I was in charge of a small and neglected part of our Beanz portfolio which few people even knew existed! This meant not only did I need to plan the future of the category but also had to understand the historical initiatives.

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

    • Kraft Heinz has an “Ownerversity” where you are always learning.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Hard working, stimulating, energetic. Quite casual but everyone is prepared for their roles.

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

    • Really great organisation (Thank you Stephanie!!). My only concern is that you sign a contract accepting the offer BEFORE you are assigned a role - which means some were stuck in functions they did not like or some had last minute switches after making it clear what skill sets they wanted to develop in the 10 weeks.

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

    • A full first week of inductions with the U.K. leadership team and throughout the internship I was taught to use software such as Nielsen, Kantar and some Excel skills/training. For personal business interactions also great.

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

    • Working from home
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • After the 10 week internship if you would like to continue in the company they explain (and sell very well) their EMEA TRAINEE PROGRAMME - a 16 week grad scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Once a month or so the entire office would go for drinks on a Friday - very nice! We were only 15 interns so we got quite close, once or twice a week we would go out and every lunch we’d catch up !

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

    • LONDON PRICES. you are based in the shard, london bridge area. Bring your own lunch (there are microwaves in the canteen!!) also drinks are £5 / pint on average !!

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

    • It’s London :)

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Up to you not the job- again, it’s London so there’s always something.
