    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The company is great, they really value their employees and treat them alot. The job itself can be quite hard, particularly at first as they gave me alot of responsibility. It's a very fast moving environment, with new releases at least every other week, there is always something new to think about. My colleagues were great though!

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Great environment - very friendly and always willing to help and share workload if needed.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Always there if I needed to chat about workload or I felt under pressure.

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

    • It varies. Monday and Tuesday are always the busiest and a lot of adhoc things come up such as retailer presentations which may make you busier then you usually are towards the end of the week.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Soley responsible for pre-order forecasts. Also, retail planner for Play.com which felt quite big as they have never had an intern on their own account before.
