  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was on a perfect balance actually because whenever I was tired from working in the office, there was always a colleague that helped me out. The staff also gave me a 1 hour break for me to go outside so I was really happy as I got have some great lunch.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • As I was new to the BMW group, the staff had advised me to not take that much responsibility at times as it was really hard. But I was responsible for some things such as maintaining the office so that did build up maintenance skills so I was pretty proud of myself.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

The future employment will be also appealing as it does have a great presentation so the employment will be successful.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • I'm still in a great relationship with my colleagues and I'm still in contact with my colleagues. This is because the BMW group had a comfortable space for staff to have breaks. So me and my colleagues had a strong social relationship. If my colleagues weren't there then I wouldn't have a great social life.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I didn't have any concerns with any cost of living because my house wasn't far from my work place. Also I had a great lunch at some amazing restaurants so I did have a fantastic time with my colleagues. The area I worked in was amazing because it is really safe at any time.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The nightlife in the area I worked in was awesome as there were so many restaurants and nightclubs. Sometimes my work had finished late so me and my colleagues had went to some restaurants. The area also has so much transport so I was pretty amazed by the transport from the area.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There wasn't that much opportunities to get involved in outside of work and I was pretty disappointed. However my colleagues recommended me an area to go to so I can get involved in some activities. Unfortunately, I did have to travel really far to get there with my colleagues so it did cost me a lot to get there.
