Reflecting on my summer internship
Helpful (3)
I have been working at dunnhumby full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I joined dh during the Covid-19 pandemic. I started the recruitment process before the pandemic; overall it was very well organised, I had an initial phone call with someone in HR, then had a proper phone interview, and then was provided with a case study to prepare for the final interview. They have recently changed the case study, meaning that now it's much more relevant to what a media planner will be doing day-to-day. The final interview was very friendly and informal to an extent, which put you at ease. All standard questions, I would just recommend spending as much time on the case study as you can, particularly around the insights and understanding them, and why X might mean Y, etc.
Cons
I don't really have any cons, only the fact that when I actually started the job, it was during Covid-19. They sent me a laptop and all the equipment I needed, which was great! The only thing I would say is that I only spoke to dh on the Thursday before I started on the Monday, so I was nervous that they may have decided to delay my start date, but I totally understand that they obviously had a lot of HR issues to deal with during the pandemic.
Advice to Management
Overall, I experienced a great recruitment process. dh colleagues have been very friendly throughout.
Interview
