    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Kantar Worldpanel as a placement. It was an incredibly valuable experience that I would recommend to anyone.

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

    • My colleagues made me feel very welcomed and were very helpful in getting me up to speed with the day to day work.

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

    • My manager was particularly helpful and gave me both an incredible amount of advice and guidance as well as room to learn and take on independent responsibility.

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

    • How busy I was fluctuated seasonally as the majority of my work was with clients, typically they were more demanding nearer the end of the year. That being said, there was always work that I could be getting on with.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was fortunate to be given a large amount of responsibility without being thrown in the deep end (so to speak). I was able to manage clients day to day only a short couple of months after I started, which was daunting at first but very rewarding over the long term.

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

    • A large portion of my day to day work was running consumer data and analysing trends / forecasting impact. This is closesly linked with the macroeconomic research I was doing prior to the placement year and helped massively with my dissertation in the following year.

    5/5

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