Concepts Assistant Review

I struggled initially because this was my first time moving out as well as moving 100 miles away from home, and starting a new job all at the same time. I can honestly say becoming a part of Bosch was a welcoming and easy process. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

You set the expectation of everyone knowing you're a student, and treating you like one. But all your colleagues treat you with high levels of respect and also give support where needed. When you do a good job they are sure to tell you!

Management have been great so far. Questions are answered and challenges are set. It's very rewarding.

Due to being part of such a massive organisation, it can be up and down. Majority of the time I had things to do that were of my own responsibility, and you have control over your own tasks. During quieter periods there is always opportunity to ask for more.

Enough responsibility to know you have a role in the business, but never too much that you cannot humanly cope. It's a good amount of responsibility to be able to learn and enjoy the placement at the same time.

I feel as though I have learnt so much in such a short space of time. You learn a range of different skills through just your job role as well as further training provided by Bosch. All of which i will carry with me in the future and continue to learn throughout the remainder of my placement.

Very positive. People are welcoming and you do not feel as though you couldn't approach anyone you walk past in the corridor. Although it can be relaxed at times there remains a business atmosphere in ensuring things get done. But a friendly one.

There were not issues upon starting at Bosch. My predecessor had many notes and information to hand over to me, and it helped me to learn efficiently. I was introduced to the team and was informed of all necessary information early on.

My manager and I have weekly 'catch-up' meetings where we discuss tasks for the week as well as how I am doing and a chance for me to raise any concerns. All students are also enrolled into an external training programme that improves day-to-day skills in a fantastic way.

Future employment seems great at Bosch and I have already met many people who have completed their internship and returned permanently. The only reason it does not appeal to me is due to the location, but by the end I may have changed my mind!

Living in a house of all other Bosch interns was a great choice. We regularly arrange gatherings and nights out which is fun. We have learnt so much about each other this way and also met people from around the world. I have already met some great friends!

The cost of living is not too bad, and our house is quite nice for having been always rented to students. The area we live does not provide much socially but we can very easily get the bus or a tube and there is plenty to do.

Just a bus journey away there were plenty of pubs and things to do in the evenings. We are also not too much of a distance away from central London which has great nightlife.

I have not yet looked into this - there are many sports and social events that we can get involved in at work but I have not fully explored yet. i'm sure there is plenty to be involved in as it is London
