    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It has been a really good year so far. I have learnt so much by being in a real working environment, and I have been given a lot of opportunities to find out more about the business and the people we work with.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues give us a lot of responsibility and as as a result we know that the work we are doing is important. We have regular catch-ups with the team and they always let us know how valued we are.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My colleagues encourage us to ask questions and we have regular progress reviews where we discuss any areas that we're struggling with. They're very open to meeting up and understand that we won't get everything right first time.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I always have plenty to do, but if you're struggling to handle the work load you can let the team know and they will help you out.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I have been given a lot of responsibility. We get to make a lot of decisions and assist with a range of tasks, such as planning events, that require a lot of responsibility to be handed to us.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I now have a much better understanding of how a business and the corporate world works. Everyday you are challenged and learn something new that will help you at university and in any future career you have.

    5/5

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I know of people who are working for Bosch now that started off as interns so there are some opportunities.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There are a lot of interns working at Bosch so the social side is great.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I worked on the outside of London so the cost of living was not as expensive as central London, but not cheap. House shares with other interns can keep the cost of rent down though.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Although it is near Brunel university there aren't a lot of places to go. It is better to go into central London for a night out.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • They run some activities outside of work like badminton but not many. People often organise meals etc. with their team.
