Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
There are also fantastic opportunities to be involved with large projects, something which is very fulfilling and challenging. Overall, a placement with BMW is what you make of it - an intern can work with their manager to secure involvement in any task of interest.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
For example, my Manager was highly empowering and gave me the opportunity to secure a project lead role in a HR analytics project, within which I was given full responsibility for the project across the BMW UK Production Triangle.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

Beyond this, there are a variety of diversity initiatives / projects that interns can support. From a social perspective, interns within BMW often organise fun activities outside of work hours.
