    The Company

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

    • The office on the whole, was a very fun and friendly environment to work in. At busy times of the season it was definitely quieter, but it was a good balance.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship was extremely well organised. The first week was devoted to 'easing us in' and getting a feel for Nike life, before we shadowed our predecessors for a week. Support and check-ins continued throughout the year, with a big celebration to finish.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • As everyone at Nike it extremely busy, development opportunities are sometimes not at the top of the agenda. However, managers would support you in any way they could for development. The whole workforce received accountability training which was useful.

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I'd love to work for Nike again, but the team is extremely lean, so they can't create roles for everyone.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There was a good social scene amongst interns.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • As it is in Soho, central London, it was extremely expensive. However, being in the heart of London is an incredible experience, with the theatre, shopping, and world's best food on your doorstep.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Extremely buzzy, always something going on.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were loads of social and sporting events to get involved with outside of work.
