    The Role

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

    • The second half of my internship was much better than the first, my job role changed and I was given more responsibility which I preferred.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Worked in a very close department (European Theatrical) where there were only about 20 people so everyone knew everyone else. The interns (there were five of us in my dept) were treated as full time employees and never as 'just an intern'.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • When I needed help I was given it but we had a weeks handover at the beginning where the previous intern taught me the majority of things I would be doing.

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

    • At the beginning I was very bored but once my job role changed things were a lot better. I still feel I could have been busier but my work load varied depending on which films I was working on.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Warner Bros. interns are given a lot of responsibility which is great. I worked on my own projects, dealt directly with brands and agencies and was able to approve the majority of media promotions myself.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I don't feel I learnt any new skills, just had a chance to develop skills I already had. It was a good experience working in a corporate environment as I hadn't done that before.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • There was a mixture of both, the dull parts could be quite dull but the fun parts were incredible.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Extremely well organised. There were about 30 interns and the programme over the year was very well structured and organised from before I started, during my time there and now I'm leaving.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There was an intern training programme providing courses such as communications skills.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would like to go into a career in creative advertising which isn't something Warner Bros. offer, however, I have met a lot of people through my job and I would like to work for Warner Bros. as part of an agency.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns socialised after work and during lunchtimes a lot. Everyone made an effort to make friends and get to know each other.

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

    • I lived in central London (Kings Cross area). I could walk to work which saved me a lot of money but the rent was very expensive. London is an expensive area to live but definitely worth it.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Very easy to get anywhere in central London!

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

    • Other than work events there wasn't much.
