The Role
It started out tough as I had to learn alot at a fast pace. As the placement went on I felt myself grow in confidence and grow into my role at Warner Bros
My team were beautiful people. Would never ever be afraid to come to them about anything whatsoever.
My line manager dedicated a lot of time and resources to making sure I was developing as a person. I owe him a lot.
I can not recall one time in my placement, except perhaps the first few days, where I was not occupied and had a project to work on
I was shocked by the responsibility I had! I was sent around Europe on multiple occasions and also on my own. I learnt so much from these experiences and am extremely thankful
I can enter my final year with full confidence knowing I have vastly improved my time management, attention to detail and presenting skills
The Company
Very laid back atmosphere with a great working relationship with every person in the office! I was always surprised as to how much work we achieved with this atmosphere
Perfect. As soon as I arrived I had a desk set up for me and was given Intern training throughout the year by the excellent HR department
As mentioned, my team did so much for me this year. I am extremely humbled and have the utmost respect for each and every one.

Nothing can be promised of course - but I would like to think I have left my mark and would love to be back.
The Culture
there were around 40 WB interns, so the social aspect was great
I lived at home and commuted in, so my living costs were low. If you do not have the luxury of living at home I can imagine London being very costly.
Central London :)
There were team birthdays for example and a football team
