Ad Sales Intern
June - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
Everyone in the company was open and eager to communicate with the interns; they really wanted us to get the most out of our experience. There were weekly presentations and lunch&learns. I got to shadow employers, attend meetings, and really feel a part of the team.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have spent more time getting to know the other interns; however, other than that, it was amazing.
Advice
Reach out to everyone you can! Ask people about their jobs, they love to talk and just want someone to listen to them.

Data Analyst
June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I love that the work environment. It was very similar to my college campus, and my supervisors were just as willing to teach me new things as my professors!
What I wish was different
I only wish that I had been able to continue in this position during the semester. It was a great experience!
Advice
My advice would be to have an open mind. I had no idea what to expect working as a Data Analyst, and the title was at first intimidating. I ended up with a diverse experience and a stronger professional network.

Physical Production Finance Intern
June - August 2019 • Burbank, CA
What I liked
I liked that I got to merge a career of both stability in the accounting industry and excitement in the entertainment industry. I got to work right on the Warner Bro’s. lot and got to see a few celebrities!

I wish I had more tasks and responsibilities that applied directly to what I’m learning at Pepperdine.
Advice
It’s okay not to take the traditional route in your career path. Find a job your passionate about or something that excites you because that will make the job much more fulfilling.

Business Workplace and Technology Solutions Intern
June - August 2019 • Burbank, CA
What I liked
I loved the supportive and diverse workplace environment, it was so fun and everyone was very friendly to me. I felt so at home and my managers were very trusting of me and my work, they never micro-managed me and were so proud of me every step of the way. I was a tech intern in the marketing department, so I would often get Warner Bros. merchandise as well. By the end, I was SO sad to leave and my team thanked me so much for the work I did there.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have been there longer, the ten weeks seemed very short.
Advice
I would tell people that intern at Warner Bros. to network network network! I met so many employees and I feel that that greatly impacted the decision to give me a return offer.

Learning and Organization Development Intern
June - August 2019 • Burbank, CA
What I liked
I really enjoyed working with a small team that engaged with different business units across the whole organization. Additionally, I liked that I was given a lot of responsibility and projects that I could have ownership of. I also liked working on the WB lot, as it definitely made for a unique experience. Lastly, Warner Bros. University Relations provided many resources and events for the interns throughout the summer.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have worked with other interns more. I was the sole HR intern so I mostly worked with full-time employees.
Advice
I would say since there is so much diversity in what Warner Bros./Warner Media make and produce (movies, TV, consumer products, music, etc.), it would be a great idea to talk to as many people as possible – particularly people that are working in a field that you are interested in.

TV Trade Marketing Intern
June - August 2018 • Burbank, CA
What I liked
Absolutely fantastic experience with real opportunities to engage with and contribute to value-adding projects. Interns are treated not as people who gets coffee or pastries for meetings but rather as a genuine members of the team with responsibilities and deliverables. The level of exposure not only to the entertainment industry, but also to the inner workings of a massive F50, and now F5, company was invaluable -- particularly as I interned during the AT&T-Time Warner merger, which made the experience even more special.
What I wish was different
Advice
To incoming interns, my largest piece of advice would be to really engage with and learn from as many people as possible during your short ten-weeks in sunny Burbank. Personally, I was incredibly fortunate to have a supervisor who was committed to my growth and helped me to set up dozens of one-on-one meetings with those not only across the different management levels but also across the different functions of Warner Bros.
