    4/5

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

    • My team leader and manager were supportive in both work situations and life situations (for example it was the first time i had my own flat and was away from home).

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

    • Some days were busy and some were not as the business is affected by seasonal fluctuations.

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

    • One very important job was completely left to me and another intern and we were the only members of staff who knew how to do it!

    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 cannot comment on this yet as only left my placement a few weeks ago but i think i will benefit, especially from an increased confidence.

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Bosch is very big on staff motivation so we did lots of fun stuff for example theme days and parties e.g. jubilee part. Every one in my office were also very friendly and everyones birthdays were also celebrated.

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

    • It was set up well although i did have difficulty getting access to everything i needed on the computer to begin with as everything needed written permission from i.t.

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

    • I did a lot of different training which i was not required to do but was given the opportunity to do it if i wanted for example day out with an engineer and renewable products training.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would love to get a graduate job with Bosch just not with the Worcester Bosch group as i feel their is little opportunity in this division.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were about 40 interns on site, everyone has lunch together and we had many nights out. We would celebrate everyones birthdays and also go to the cinema/bowling etc

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

    • General costs arent too expensive such as pubs and restaurants etc but cost of rent was high. Average for a 1 bed flat would be between 500-600.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • As good as it gets for a small city and everything is in close proximity. It is also a student town so drinks are quite cheap and so is club entrance.

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

    • Not many that i was aware of. Their was a social club that you could join but not many interns were involved.
