    The Role

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

    • Tesco did an absolutely brilliant job of creating an insightful, interesting, and challenging virtual programme with very little time due to the pandemic. The work has been challenging at times but there has been a lot of support and everyone is keen to help.

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

    • I really have gotten the feeling that Tesco value their people! They’ve given us several opportunities to learn and develop our skills, and also emphasize the importance of our well-being. There are frequent check-ins to make sure everyone is doing well and having a good experience.

    The Company

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

    • No office because of the pandemic! But the managers did try to have fun activities for us. Obviously we can’t be as social as an office, but clear effort has been made.
