Media and Marketing Partnerships Intern at WarnerMedia

I had a really enjoyable year both in terms of work and living arrangements.

My colleagues were extremely welcoming from day one. The interns are treated as a valued member of the team and are integrated well within the company.

I was given support by all members of the team (including my manager) throughout the year. As we sit close together it is easy to ask questions whenever anything comes up. We had weekly catch ups and all members of the team were available to discuss issues in more detail when required.

Some days are busier than others - this tends to be around a film release when a lot of artwork is coming through - but as the work is enjoyable, this was not a problem. Other days are quieter but there is plenty to do and I was never left bored without work.

I was given the perfect amount of responsibility and was trusted to handle projects from very early on in the process. Towards the end of the year, I was encouraged to take up more responsibility and get involved with different departments in order to develop my skills.

I was surprised at how much I learnt during the internship scheme and feel that it has prepared me extremely well for the future. I was able to interview key individuals in the business for my dissertation preparation which was both enlightening and useful. It has also given me a clearer idea of what I would like to focus my studies on when I return to Uni.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere in the office. There was always an upbeat and fun mood but it was never a distraction from work. Dress code was relatively casual in the marketing team which added to this relaxed yet professional atmosphere.

The placement was very well organised with many training sessions including Time Management, Public Speaking, MBTI Tests and many more. The programme has been running for several years which means there is a proper job role in place, rather than ad-hoc projects.

There were many training sessions as the Learning & Development team take the internship programme very seriously. They were supportive, helpful and always made the sessions fun and engaging.

Many of the jobs that come up are filled by interns so the prospects are good. If interns are not directly employed by the company then there are plenty of opportunities to work for the organisation's agencies which work as an extension of the team.

One of the highlights of the year was sharing the experience with around 40 other interns. I lived with 3 other girls on the internship and made some really good friends.

It is very expensive but I didn't really struggle for money as we get paid a fair amount. There are always cheaper options if you look properly.

The nightlife is amazing - living in central London means there are hundreds of places to go.

There were many volunteering and sports activities available.
