Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I help the product managers of tablet, smartwatch, audio, PC and memory oversee the product lifecycle of their new devices. This includes sales, marketing, promotions etc. I helped setup the products for key accounts, track sales and present new product information to accounts. I also was responsible for carrying out processes for moving money around the business (for promotions), tracking product pricing across retailers and approving PDPs for e-store. As well as ad-hoc requests.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, much much more than expected. There was real accountability on what I was responsible for. If I didn't do my role it would have affected the business more than I would've thought before joining.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Very fast paced, quite hectic. But this is what I believe it takes to remain on top as a company. I enjoyed the ruthlessness of it and there was always support if it got too much.
