The Role
I have really enjoyed my year at SAP. it has given me a great insight into a huge global company and the technology industry. I have felt very valued in my role in particular.
i have felt like a very valued part of my team. i have recieved some great feedback for th work i have done and i have been supported throughout the yeat.
i have been given great support throughout the year by the members of my team. assistance was offered when needed and i have recieved guidence throughout my responsibilites
in my role i recieved great responsibility which i really enjoyed. this kept me very busy, in particular at cetrtain times of the year where my work flow was higher.
i was given a lot of responsibility in my role. i owned certain projects and achieved at the end of them.
i think the skills i have developed will help me secure a graduate role as i have now developed skills in recruitment. i dont think it will assist me much with my degree though.
The Company
I really get on with the memebers of my team which has been really fun throughout the year. Looking wider, the office has a nice atmosphere and in particular with the early talent community.
my placement is 13months and hence recieved a 1month handover when i fist started. i really benefitted from the structured training and it really helped me develop myself in my role.
there are lots of training and development opportunities avaliable at SAP however i dont think i have taken full advantage of this due to my workload in my specific role.

Working from home
there is no set grad scheme across all the areas so although i would love to return to SAP i am unsure if the opportunity will arise.
The Culture
yes, we have 45 interns in the UK and we have all made the effort to interact outside of work and i have really enjoyed this aspect of my year. it is a very sociable company
i live further into London which is more expensive but a erally nice area. around the office the cost of living is much lower however there are not places to socialise around work
the nightlife around where i work is not good at all. however where i live the nightlife is great
i started playing netball with my collegues at the beginning of the year. i have also had the opportunity to do some charity work which i have really enjoyed.
