    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The work I underwent on my placement was enjoyable and I really felt like a part of the team. There are also a lot of other students at Bosch so the social aspect is really good too!

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Was treated like a permanent employee and not just as intern.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Whenever I needed guidance, managers and colleagues were always around to help me. They appreciated the fact that interns are new to working and the marketing industry so were more than happy to help interns and offer additional guidance.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There was never a day when I was just sitting at my desk bored and not knowing what to do. I always had stuff to be doing and targets to strive towards.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was surprised at how much responsibility I was given from day 1. There were some tasks that only I was doing so therefore I felt like a real part of the team and extremely valued.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have learnt how to apply all of the theories I learnt at university into real life situations.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The team I worked within are extremely friendly and always up for a laugh. However, they understood that professionalism is important so when work needed to be done we all buckled down and worked together.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised. There was a 2 week handover from my predecessor who taught me everything that I needed to know.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • There were training courses available that I could have attended, however I didnt really get involved in this.

    3/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    2/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Quite a few of the managers who work at Robert Bosch at the moment were students a few years before.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The social scene amongst all of the placement students at Bosch is very good. There are around 13 students in the power tools division and around 20 more in other departments within the Denham offices. Quite often we will go out on group meals or nights out.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost is quite low however quite a lot of the time the interns all ventured into London which can be quite expensive.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Uxbridge is the nearest town to Denham but unfortunately the nightlife here is pretty much non-existent. However, because there is a tube station in Uxbridge London is easily accessible.

    1/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Activities outside of work arranged by the company were quite minimal, however, the students took it upon themselves to organise various social outings and nights out quite frequently.

    3/5
