    The Role

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

    • Entering the internship my expectations were unrealistic for the role, as I came from a different degree. However the lessons and achievements over the year were invaluable regardless.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The team were welcoming from day 1, and always there if I needed them.

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

    • I couldn't have asked for a more supportive manager - every step of the way she was available and checking in on me, in both a professional and personal capacity.

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

    • Like all jobs, it comes in waves - depending on the business climate and upcoming premieres, new shows etc, some days were busier than others, but never lacking entirely!

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

    • The team were always encouraging and willing to let me try my hand anything I had the desire to.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Everything I have learned will be invaluable throughout my degree and any role I go into post-university.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • With so many people to get to know, there's always something going on, with the perfect balance of a professional and casual atmosphere.

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

    • NBCUniversal are not new to taking interns, so everything was straightforward throughout.

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

    • Opportunities for additional learning and paid for training were abundant - I received Photoshop and Writing training at no cost to me, which was not part of the internship. All development is actively encouraged.

    5/5

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    The Culture

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

    • Always loads going on with the interns! They were like one big family all year.

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

    • London is London, but with the salary I found it easy to live a full lifestyle.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • A lot of cute little pubs around CSG, however not much out at Osterley, where I was partly based.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Team drinks and intern events were regularly held throughout the year.
