The Role
I enjoyed it a lot, due to my love for Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm franchises. However, that is not the main reason as I learnt how an international company works and what office life is like. I learn new skills and made lots of connections.
I get relied on a lot to collate information as well as use of my skills which others may not have. Therefore, felt needed in order for some to do their tasks.
A lot of support from supervisors and if they were not available, others were happy to help and give me guidance.
Some days will be busier than others. Working with different markets which have different holidays can be interesting as that can effect how busy you will be.
High responsibility. I was treated as a normal employee therefore had the same level of responsibility.
Communication skills were developed immensely. This is needed in any situation so will help.
The Company
Busy but enjoyable. Everybody is nice and will help out whenever you need!
My role is the first one in the company, therefore the role is still being crafted as I work.
The company will help train you if needed with certain softwares.
Above 25 days holiday
Very appealing.
The Culture
Many placement students therefore everybody is on the same boat and socialise with everyone.
Higher due to it being in the city and London.
Huge nightlife with lots of London Universities.
Yes, however limited as work finishes at 5:30
