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

    • At times i was very busy, such as when organising big events, while still having my day-to-day responsibilities. However i enjoyed taking on more and more respinsibility and liked to be busy. If i felt the workload was getting too much i could always discuss it with my managers.

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

    • I was given a lots of responsibility throughout the year, from producing ads to organising Adobes presence at large industry events. I was made to feel comfortable that i could ask for more.

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

    • I believe my placement year gave me so many skills that will no doubt help me achieve a better degree and get a head start in my career. Not only did i learn skills to use in marketing but also developed my personality enormously and grew in confidence.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office could sometimes be quiet but there was always a friendly and open atmosphere. Adobe have now moved to a brand new office which, after seeing the plans and building before i left, i imagine will be amazing.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It is not common for Adobe to take people on after they graduate but i do believe they would offer a position to the right person, if one was available at the time.
