    The Role

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

    • All in all I really enjoyed the placement. Of course there are always times, when work is more and less exciting, but I was always given interesting tasks.

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

    • I was fully integrated into the department, but every now and then they made clear that I am just an intern and not allowed to know and do certain things.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager always gave me support, when needed and understood that a new intern makes mistakes every now and then.

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

    • At the beginning of the internship, I had almost too much work and in the end did not know what to do with my time. So I only had 2-3 months with the perfect workload.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Quite a lot, but I liked it. I was given my tasks at the beginning and could work on them all alone.

    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 did not learn too much, as I was given tasks at the beginning, which never changed throughout the internship. So I only learned quite a lot at the beginning and in the end not so much. Nevertheless, the Bosch Build programme was very good!

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It was quite strict and we always had to follow the processes very precisely, but everyone was always friendly.

    2/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • As the interns in my department change every 6 months, everything worked out well.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • With the Bosch Build programme, we were supported quite well!

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Sports and Social Club

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Bosch provides a retention programme, which should help to stay in touch. Only the best interns get in, after being recommended by your supervisor.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Especially the foreign students developed a nice community. We had quite a few barbecues and were travelling.

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

    • London is not the cheapest place, but with the salary of Bosch it is fine.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • It is London, so there quite some possibilities to go out.

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

    • Bosch offered only very few, like football and badminton. But there is a lot of thins you can do in London.
