The Role
My placement was really
When I started my placement, I quickly felt like "part of the team".They treated me exactly the same as any other member of staff which really helped. Everyone within the team are really nice and easy to talk to!
I was given lots of support throughout my years placement. I would often have regular informal catch up's with my manager. I also had informal appraisal's every couple months with my manager to review my progress and achievements but to also set new targets for the coming months. Although you are given plenty of support, you do need to be able to work independently most of the time as there is always lots going on!
Most days are super busy, with lots of different tasks to complete across both Marketing and PR - so I had to quickly learn to prioritize the heavy workload. My workload changed depending on the time of the year and games line up schedule. For example, the time leading up to events often meant the workload significantly increased!
I have been given quite a lot of responsibility during my role this year. Including, managing the video marketing asset output for all titles. This involves managing relationships with our US head office,agencies and our local offices. Also working in PR, I have to compile coverage reports for across over 9 territories. This often involves working to tight deadlines.
I have developed many skills during my placement at Warner Bros, the most important skill being time management! Working with strict deadlines and a high workload has really developed this area. There is also HR training throughout the year, aimed at developing your skills in a number of different areas.
The Company
My department are pretty social and everyone gets on really well. We often go out for department lunches or drinks after work.
The placement was well organised and structured. I was given a week handover with the old intern who helped me learn all the basic areas of the role.
There were a couple courses available to improve your Microsoft skills, if needed.
International Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
There is not a graduate scheme currently at Warner Bros. However, there are several old interns working at the company, including the last years intern!
The Culture
There was a good social scene at Warner Bros, with lots of interns there were always people to socialize with! We often went out for lunch/drinks with our department, which is always good fun!
pretty expensive - but the salary is more than enough to get by.
London is amazing - there is so much going on!
not particularly.
