    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement, I was given a lot of responsibility and I liked that. It made me realise what I enjoyed doing and what I did not.

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

    • I felt more as part of a team rather than a placement student. I was given some mundane jobs but also projects on my own.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given a lot of support and guidance at the beginning but by the end you make your own decisions.

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

    • I was busy everyday working on day to day jobs as well as on going projects.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a large amount of responsibility as my team changed a lot throughout the year.

    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 felt that the skills I gained on placement were extremely valuable. But I believe working is completely different to Uni.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was very close to one another and all students were close together which made a nice atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I think it was well organised and I feel I gained a lot from the placement year. I would definately recommend doing one.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I feel more formal training could have been given as there was a lot of informal training on the job.

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Bosch do not have any graduate positions but a lot of the managers did a placement with them.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • I was very lucky as all the students got on really well and we enjoyed socialising together. Were able to go into London, Watford or Uxbridge.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home but I think the cost of living was not too expensive as it was a university place.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nightlife close by was not great but had many good nights out, as its not the place but the people you go with! But was close to cental london and watford!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not really Bosch events more student nights arrange by yourself.
