    The Role

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

    • I really loved it and learned a lot from the repsonsabilities I have been given and from the experienced people I had the opportunity to work with.

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

    • I have been given good responsibilities and felt like my opinion was valued. I did not feel like a placement but like a real Danoner.

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

    • I have an amazing manager who gave me guidance and feedback several times a week. Besides, my role gave me the opportuntiy to work across several teams and make the best of my colleagues experience.

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

    • Except during the first two weeks (during which I was mostly familiarising with the processes) I was always busy and always had a project to work on. And the good thing is that my tasks are not always the same: it goes from building reports on Excel and analysising figures to organising meeting and presenting analysises.

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

    • I had a lot of responsibilities, when you are a placement in Danone they give you almost as much responsibility as you ask for. I was in charge of several reports that I had to share with the whole business, I was also leading the monthly team meeting. My manager also gave me responsibilities on working with our buyer.

    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 do believe that I improved both my analytical and presentation skills, I also attended to a management and an advanced Excel training that will forever be useful.

    5/5
