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

    • So much of the work i did at McDonald's related back to my degree. I had the opportunity to work with all types of different agencies - Digital, Media, Advertising and Creative.

    The Company

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

    • The marketing department is like a family. Everyone gets on so well inside and outside the office. At christmas we had secret santa and different competitions. Although it was a really fun atmosphere, the work still gets done. It a work hard/play hard office.

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

    • McDonald's has a really good scheme set up for placements. As there is so many placement students in all the different departments, it meant you were never alone if we had a problem. At the beginning of the year, we all attending different courses to help us in the work environment ( such as communication skills/ excel course)

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

    • There are always course being offered so we can improve on anything that may need it. Frequent meetings with the team also allowed anything that may have needed to be improved to be picked up on and worked on.
