    The Role

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

    • I learnt all aspects of how a business operates. Full of opportunities to learn about other jobs, not just your role. Social life was amazing and the benefits were uncomparable.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility for an intern but this was given gradually. If you are honest, accurate and reliable you will not only be given responsibility but valued.

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

    • Every piece of work was gone through in detail and questions were ALWAYS encouraged. Even right at the end of the placement.

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

    • Dependent... The film industry is dependent on releases but there is always things to do. If you have nothing to do, ask!

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A lot. But nothing you can't handle. You are encouraged to grow but only to the extent you are comfortable with. Objectives are consistently set and give you something to work towards.

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

    • I have learnt a lot about the "real business world" and covered a lot of content I can use in my exams for final year.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It is great. Very relaxed atmosphere, but the film industry is full of change so a lot going on!

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

    • In the job, the process was smooth and all my equipment was already set up. Recruitment was a little confusing but due to the recruitment environment at the time.

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

    • I am now trained in SAP, Excel and other job specific programs. I have also been involved in training other employees in these tools.

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

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very dependent if there is job roles available, but networking will hopefully give more potential.

    2/5

    The Culture

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

    • A huge amount of interns and you will spend a lot of time with them! Great people who will understand what you are going through. Working in Central London, lots of things to do after work.

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

    • I lived at home for my placement, but I know others found it expensive.

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

    • It's London so absolutely amazing!

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

    • There is meditation at lunch, workouts in the morning, running clubs, free coffee...
