- Communicate with and present to team and stakeholders to push strategies
- Develop and implement new methods
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a lot of ownership of the projects assigned to me, as well as wider exposure to the various teams and business lines within the organisation. I never felt micromanaged which is another positive

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed a solid range of skills, from data / programming to softer skills such as presentation and communication. Being given relatively open-ended projects with the view to direct progress myself made learning and developing skills very straightforward as the needs and scopes of the projects changed

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The HR support was also great. Also had a very communicative manager and buddy so couldn't have had a much better experience in this regard. From conversations with other interns this may be quite team-dependent, though

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very friendly and casual, didn't feel intimidated asking anyone for a chat from any country. There can be some language barriers especially when communicating with the China teams but as a whole people tend to try and work to get around these.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend TikTok to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to TikTok
Do be prepared to be independent and self-driven. Being so new as a company, processes aren't necessarily as defined (and rigid) as they are in other companies so even as a new entrant you have a chance to make your mark, an opportunity to make the most of early in your career
