    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really did enjoy my year with BMW. I experienced many new things and learned a lot about the automotive industry and BMW as a company. The plant is absolutely huge so there are many oppertunities to meet new people and network.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was very close with my department and felt like a valuable part of the team. I was trusted with responsibilities and tasks and was very integrated into the team. My department was a genuinely lovely enviroment to work in and I enjoyed being at work everyday.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My manager wasn't so good with tracking my progress and I was mostly busy with my daily tasks and other responsibilities that I took on myself. I would say the support from my manager was actually quite weak, although my managers were lovely people but in terms of a professional support and guidance I didn't quite feel like I got the most out of it.

    3/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • My days definitely fluctuated in how busy I was, some days I will be very busy and some days would be very relaxed. Overall, I was kept quite busy throughout.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a fair amount of responsibilities, I had daily tasks and meetings to attend and also other varying responsibilities given to me by various departments. I also had the oppertunity to help other interns with their tasks.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • My placement year helped with my professional development but not necessarily my degree, there wasn't much Engineering application in my role.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • I loved my office ! Everyone is very friendly and very helpful at all times. There is a lot of socialising and we had a great canteen for us to go on our breaks and chat over some coffee.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • My placmement was not organised so well, it could have been done much better at the start. I did nto have a great introduction to the company but it slowly got better.

    2/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I think in terms of professional growth by just being involved and doing your job, there is a lot of growth and you learn hwo to behave in a professional setting. However the company did not necessarily invest much into me as an individual.

    3/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Car

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • There aren't many graduate jobs available at the company but I believe with the right amount of networking and contacts it is quite possible to join the compnay after the internship.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The social scene was absolutely great ! The interns constantly socialise and there is always events going on. Oxford is great for socialising.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Oxford is relatively expensive for both cost of living and socialising, but definitely not a big issue.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • There are great pubs and bars all over oxford !

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are always events on every week and also many interns to socialise with so if you wanted to do something there was always oppertunities to have fun.

    3/5
