The Role
I thorouglhy enjoyed my placement at Groupe Seb
I felt extremely valued and part of a large working family.
Any problem or issues I had with my work I would be given full support by my manager or other interns.
There was always something to be done on a daily basis. I really appreciated the work life balance I had at Groupe Seb as my colleagues helped me manage my daily tasks efficiently.
I was pleased with the responsibility assigned to me by my manager through having my own projects to work on alongside group tasks.
I have gained an insight into how the marketing industry works and know the steps I would like to take in my career after university.
The Company
A friendly hard working office.
I had a thorough induction and plan set up for my arrival. Over my first few weeks I was introduced to everybody at the company and gained an understanding of their roles within the business.
I was given further training both on and off site which will help me in my role and my further career.

The U.K. office is smaller versus the EU head office which does decrease the chances of possible new vacancies. However, with different brands and product categories present at Groupe Seb I would hope there would be future opportunities.
The Culture
Yes, similar like minded students.
Windsor is quite an expensive part of the U.K. versus the rest of the U.K. but still liveable on the placement salary.
London is a short train ride away which is very ideal.
There where many social events organised by the company outside of work.
