Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
We regularly work with video editing, and web page development- focusing on both UI and UX. We also use design software like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to design graphics and do digital illustrations.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I’ve been given a lot more responsibility than I had ever imagined. Working Solely on the design assets for a major customer engagement that the MD was involved in, as well as helping design things like a sustainability stall and being asked to help ideate around future ideas.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Apart from the Placement Team who onboarded and supported us throughout the placement. In my team, my manager had 1-1s with us. We were also assigned a buddy who was a full time member of staff that we could go to for advice. The whole team was constantly supportive and uplifting.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The Innovation Labs is super diverse in terms of age, gender, race etc. which I really enjoy. We’d play music whilst we work, order pizza when working a bit late and go on trips to museums and exhibitions to gain inspiration.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement - it totally over exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect or what I could get involved in but a fun, supportive team paired with creative, challenging work has been great. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction into the workplace and start to my career.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to SAP
Come in with an open mind, get involved in things that may seem challenging. It’s a very large company and that can be daunting- but everyone is super supportive and understanding.
