    The Role

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

    • Very interesting work, great people to work with, fantastic company to work for.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was always included in discussions, invited to external meetings and asked for my opinion and input. We were all good friends - and still stay in touch!

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

    • Warner Bros has a great trainng program whereby you do a training session once a month or so, and learn some pretty useful skills. In terms of day-to-day tasks my manager was always there to offer and provide support.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • We got very busy around periods where movies were released, but it just gave a greater sense of achivement.

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

    • I was given plenty responsibility and was often left to my own devices to use my judgement, although guidance was always there if I needed it. I was given the go ahead to start up my own big project - which is still on-going after I left and has even left me in the position of possibly contracting for WB to aid in development of the project. Unfortunately for confidentiality purposes I can't discuss what the project was.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were around 35 Interns at WB while I was there, and we always met up for lunches and drinks after work. Always great to be with people in the same boat, especially in the first few weeks.

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

    • Central London is of course very expensive.

    3/5
