    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed my placement more than i could have ever expected. Their slogan is creatures of conviviality and they really stuck by it having a convivial office where everyone is super friendly and happy to offer you help whenever you need it. I could not recommend this placement enough and it also helps that the office is in chiswick business park which is one of the funnest places to work where they offer numerous festivities within the park throughout the year.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • From the first day you are given so many great responsibilities which shows how much of a valued employee you are.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The managers are there to always offer you guidance and help but also let you develop on your own

    • Incredibly busy every day but that just ensured that i gained the most knowledge from my time at Pernod Ricard UK

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • As much responsibility as any other full time employee within the company and given the oppurtunity t work on real life business wide projects.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    Financial Bonus

    Company Parties/Events

    • For me personally, very good as they have hired 6 previous finance interns so the oppurtunity is quite high for me.
