Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?

i would recommend the company as they are a very good company to work for and it has taught me lots which has been great, however, i would not recommend my department as they do not effectively work with apprentices and you are treated differently which is not okay.

make sure to try your best at learning the most and keep going for what you think you would be good at.
