The Role
I really enjoyed the placement as it provided varied experience across many functions within marketing.
From when i first started i have felt valued by my colleagues
Someone is always there to ask if you need help or support.
The type of work varies as does the amount of work.
So far i have been given alot of resposibility which has really helped me develop.
this placement has already taught me alot about both marketing and business in general, I have recieved alot of training in different areas which will help me both with th ejob but also with uni and a future career.
The Company
The atmosphere was fun and friendly.
The internship was very well organised considering i was going into a combined role which they had never done before.
The company has allowed me to gain access to training in areas I feel i need to improve.

There is not much nightlife in reading! Although quite a few bars, there are no real 'clubs'in the centre!
there are lots of sports teams within panasonic which allows for socialising.
