The Role
I enjoyed my placement year with my team. Even though there were lots of changes, I enjoyed with most people that I worked with.
My colleagues were lovely. We sometimes had a private conversation during lunch. We also had a great time at work!
We had two weeks of training when we first joined. It was valuable especially when we had no idea of the company. Also, there are a lot of pieces of training for a whole year. I can say SAP is a company that definitely placement students can learn proper work experience.
I was busy when we prepare for the events. I had to organise and promote all the events starting from managing registrations and ordering merchandise. Overall, I was busy when there were planned events but wasn't too busy on a daily basis.
I had to take responsibility for reports, logistics and events. Events are quite important for us due to facing customers and brand awareness. Therefore, I was taking a role which requires a high expectation.
I developed business skills that students cannot learn from the university. My role was highly relevant, and I believe my work experience definitely will assist my degree studies and beyond my future career!
The Company
It is very busy at the end of the quarter due to sales team closing deals and every Monday. However, many employees work from home, so the office is not really busy in rest of the days.
It is very organised. So many people get involved to manage all interns. Recruitment, HR and Education teams spend much time on managing interns.
They invested us to train ourselves building our personal brands such as how to run social media and networking.

Working from home
SAP has trained so many interns past years and they tend to come back work for SAP after their university graduation. All interns are the potential human resources at SAP in the near future.
The Culture
The most memorable social was the Christmas party. We booked a fancy restaurant with a bar for the whole employees and had a course menu.
There is nothing around the SAP office but SAP subsidiaries lunch for every employee, so it's not very expensive living and socialising in this area.
SAP is located in Feltham but since there is nothing much nightlife in Feltham, we usually go to Richmond to social.
Yes definitely. I had many chances to go to other offices in London. As I manage the events, I had several opportunities to go off-site.
