I enjoyed my work, when the projects had a feeling of adding value. The team, my immediate team were fantastic and can only speak highly of them.

I would most likely return given the opportunity

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK

Ask questions, make as many new connections as possible because you find yourself seeing similar faces everywhere in and around topics.
Put the prep work into your interview and assessment, but most importantly be yourself, interviewers are pretty hot on people that can regurgitate "Buzz words" and have nothing to substantiate them.
Be aware that it is a big company and there will be people you don't necessarily agree with, conflict management is important
