Data Analyst Review

I really enjoyed the placement gave me great insight into SIemens as a company and the working environment,

I felt valued by the responsibility given to you progressive over the internship and that you are treated just like any other member of staff.

The internship development programme at Siemens is awesome and very supportive. However on the job training was minimal, however this is sorted out by making sure you keep on asking for guidance and further training which Siemens are always willing to provide.

Once I was setup on the systems I was eased into the work first by carrying out basic data analytic tasks. Eventually got stuck into a major project and was left to work with the project manager on this and other senior managers.

I was given a surprising amount of responsibility from being tasked to produce my own KPI dashboard for UK and Ireland which is now used in the business as well as producing monthly reports for the senior business directors.

I think they will benefit me immensely and will definitely shape my career path moving forward. It has opened my eyes to the working world and allowed me to find my strengths and that has changed my future career ambitions.

The team i worked with mostly day in day out was the EMEA, UK and Ireland Performance Reporting Team, They were very a great bunch and very welcoming. Always supported me when needing help using the new analytics software. The team definitely made the placement enjoyable.

The internship development programme for the UK was on point and sipportive, however in the local business I was based I had two managers and my actual line manager was mostly absent from my day to day work. It was sometimes difficult to know where and how to get support or chase progression. Apart from this well organised,

We were given various training session to attend around the UK from outdoor team building exercises to workshops on our futures and being confident in presentations,

All the interns are given priority when applying for graduate jobs and the HR managers are friendly and provide a lot of support and communication after leaving the internship in trying to help you secure a graduate job with the company. You are not automatically given the job but you are able to skip some of initial interview process.

Yes the company brought all the Interns from around the UK together on three occasions. This meant whilst we were all dotted around the UK in different internal industries we were able to see each other face to face on many occasions. I loved this part of the scheme. We did various team building exercises together and workshops. Siemens spared no expenses.

I worked and relocated to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne for the year. Cost of living was just the same as I was used to in Manchester, if not less. There were plenty of options and choices for socializing.

I did not really venture down this avenue, but I hear there are meany options.

Yes I was given the opportunity to travel to Edinburgh to help promote Science and Engineering (STEM Subjects) on behalf of Siemens Curiosity Project. We worked with kids in hourly workshops on making electrical circuits using soldering irons for the day at the Edinburgh Science Festival. Awesome experience.
