  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The level of support varied throughout the placement, both my line managers were very busy but as I was working in HR I think I had a much better level of support than most.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • How busy I was changed throughout the placement according to my responsibilities at the time. I was always busy enough to keep myself occupied and help the day go quickly! If I wanted something else to do or needed extra support all I needed to do was ask.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing as an organisation, not sure if the FMCG industry is for me. I was fully supported in applying for other roles in the business.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • It got off to a bit of a slow start but then it was great, the other placements and graduates were very socialable and organised several after work events.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Living and socialising in London is expensive! Danone employees got discount in several restaurants nearby though.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Ealing is more of a family residentual area, however, Ealing is very well connected to the rest of London with several underground and overground options.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty, social nights with other graduates and several clubs such as football, pilates and boot camp.
