    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • My time at SAP has been amazing; I have worked on a wide range of projects, campaigns and events, helping me to improve my skills and knowledge in Marketing.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I have been treated as a full time employee from day one and have continuously been supported by my team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My personal and professional development has been directly linked with the good relationship I had with my manager. Having regular 1:1’s enabled me to update my manager on current work and raise any issues I may be facing. He was also quick to build my personal brand within SAP and with external partners and agencies. The buddy scheme is also a great initiative, helping you to quickly settle in at SAP.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Managing my workload with my manager and my buddy; I have always been busy at SAP but never overloaded.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As my time went on, my responsibility built within the team. I have successfully managed a number of campaigns and events and am proud to look back on what I have achieved at SAP.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Working at SAP for just over a year; I feel I have massively improved my skills and knowledge in Marketing whilst also benefitting from working in a global business environment. This will not only assist me with my final year at University but believe it will play a key element in shaping my future career path.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office, although a corporate environment, is friendly and has recently undergone a huge refurbishment making it a great place to work. Everyone is also very welcoming and there are often opportunities to socialise with your teams.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The placement scheme is very well organised and I have been impressed by the structure and support given throughout. Due to it being managed by interns, there are continuously fun opportunities to take part in projects outside of your day-to-day role and having a wide network of interns across SAP really helps this.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • From day 1 you are given training opportunities and this continues throughout your time at SAP. The company invests in you like any other employee and it is up to you to proactively carry this out and make the most of your time at SAP.

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • After working at SAP, I am very interested in working in the technology industry in B2B marketing. There are many opportunities to come back to SAP for example the sales academy which has a large investment in employing early talent.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Having 34 interns at SAP means there is always something going on! Having this community makes working at the company very enjoyable and I have loved the continuous socials outside of work.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London prices means it isn’t always cheap, just be careful not to blow all your money on your first night out!

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Unfortunately there are no venues within walking distance of the office. There are however a number of destinations which are easily accessible by public transport and this hasn’t been a problem this year.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There is a football team, netball team and many socials. As I said before, there is always something going on!
