The Role
I was placed in a really good team. I was also allowed to explore different areas of the business not just the one I was placed in.
I had a fantastic manager who really encouraged me to reach my full potential. We would have weekly catch up meetings to discuss my progress and what I wanted to achieve going forward.
During my placement I was keen to take on as much responsibility as possible. Half way through my placement I took complete ownership of organising a monthly event which was great experience to have going forward.
The Company
Throughout the year we had numerous Intern days which is a great way to meet people across both Sony offices. We also had numerous courses to help us develop skills within the work place.
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
I would defiantly look to come back to Sony in the near future.
The Culture
The local area is very expensive but the surronding areas are fun.
Theres not much on the nightlife front but you're really close to London.
