eCommerce Marketing Review

Really valuable and enjoyable experience.

I made genuine contributions both to the team and to the bottom line.

My managers we really supportive and always had my best interests and development at heart.

Pretty busy but also had time for personal development, learning new skills, meeting new people and exploring different parts of the business.

I was given a lot of autonomy to make decisions and real responsibility. As a result I was able to positively influence the areas of the business that I was working on and have some key stats that I can take away in the knowledge that I made them happen.

I learnt many interpersonal skills, business specific skills as well as transferable technologies such as Google Analytics. I also honed my time management skills and learnt just how much you can get done in a day with a proper routine.

Really fun vibe but still able to concentrate and get work done. Good banter within my team especially (not so much in others)

Well structures and organised but with a key focus on me, my skills and allowing me to shape the placement with regards to what I wanted to get out of the year.

I learnt how to use myriads of software, I became more analytical, went on paid courses, attended lectures, built relationships with several internal and external stakeholders, was given time to catch up with people on all levels of the business and got to visit a few new places as well.

I feel in a good position to apply for the grad scheme as I am a good fit with the values of the company and have a good understanding of it.

The other placement students got on pretty well but they lived together. I did not and am also very busy with extra curricular activities so I did not tend to socialise with them that much. I got on really well with my team though and we went on lots of team days and a few nights out which were really good fun.

I lived at home with my parents during my placement so only paid a small amount of rent. We tended to go out either around the office or in London so the cost can vary. There are lots of company owned places to visit though and you can also get discount at lots of places so there are perks.

It's not the best around here but there are nearby places that are better such as Reading or London that can be good to go out in.

There are loads of societies, I joined the five-a-side football team and also played socially at Friday lunch times. I also played badminton a few times with some of my team after work. However, it's not a great drinking scene as everyone drives so can only really have one drink; the downside of not being based in London.
