  • 9. Would you recommend BMW Group to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They provide a job that can be for life and there are very good progression routes within the company should you be willing to make the effort. This is proven with the amount of senior managers that are ex-apprentices


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group?
  • Lots of people dont apply because they dont believe they have a chance. Someone has to get the job and if I approached applying with that attitude I wouldnt be in my current position.
