Analyst from Insight and Strategy, London
Analyst from Insight and Strategy, London
I’ve been working full-time at PA for just over 10 months since joining as a Graduate Analyst, but I also completed a Summer Internship whilst at University. The diverse nature of the work is great – it’s like starting a new job every time I’m on a new project! I work in a fast-paced team, developing and implementing transformational and innovative strategies. The projects are all extremely diverse, no two projects are the same and I get great exposure to several industries. My career highlight so far has been participating in a design sprint on my first client project - a week-long workshop where we went from idea to prototype, and even tested it out with potential customers. It was amazing to see how much we achieved in a week of work, and it was extremely rewarding to see how happy the client was at the end. At PA, I get to work with intelligent people who I can learn from every day, they always take the time to teach and develop those at more junior ranks, which is invaluable.

I started at PA as an intern and have now been an Analyst for 9 months. I work in product development and been involved in the initial stages of researching trends and insights, participating in ideation workshops with clients, through to product development. I love working with a truly energised team on exciting projects and have been fortunate enough to get to travel to Chicago and Dallas for consumer testing. At PA, you have the opportunity to explore a wide range and variety of projects across many sectors. You can allow your career path to develop wherever you want - and to explore areas and paths you never even knew existed!
Industrial Placement in Digital, London
Industrial Placement in Digital, London
I’m currently on a year-long industrial placement at PA but fingers crossed, I’ll come back as an Analyst. I work in our Digital team and my focus is on user testing and user journeys, as well as designing wireframes and digital interactive prototypes. A few weeks after starting at PA I was placed in a bid for new work and had the chance to present to a client– I couldn’t believe I’d been given this opportunity so early on.
