    The Role

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

    • Challenging but rewarding. Pushed out of my comfort zone but supported to achieve my best work.

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

    • Very young and friendly team, who encouraged me to reach my full potential.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Weekly 1:1s to set out an action plan/ tasks to achieve for the week to ensure a very structured process and thereafter lots of support available from my manager, team and the other interns.

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

    • I had an ongoing project with milestones to complete for the week so not too busy, but motivated to go above and beyond.

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

    • My project will be implemented by lots of different teams across Sales, Marketing and Category Management and I was reassured along the process that my work would be of significant value to the company.

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

    • The most helpful skill was learning so much Excel! Kraft Heinz took a risk with putting me (an English Lit undergrad) into a finance, Excel-heavy role but then provided the support for me to learn on the job and develop skills for life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Fast paced, but people handle their stress well to deliver consistently high quality work. Everyone is very young with a communal spirit of hard work towards a goal they are passionate about!

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • From the assessment centre through to the last week it was very well organised and structured with support but the final week when delivering the outcome of whether interns would return as trainees could have been structured better.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Amazing access to the leadership team and high profile Q&As, with our time and questions valued. Having been invited back to be a trainee, I feel Kraft Heinz have invested in me for the future!

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

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

    • Offered a trainee job.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • More of a social environment within my team than with others on placement but office-wide drinks regularly on Fridays.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is expensive, but I commuted from home so I saved by not renting.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Placement based in central London.

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

    • A charity 5k run and volunteering at the soup kitchen but not many.
