The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my internship year with Siemens Rail Systems. It was without a doubt the best thing I could have done in terms of my own career development and has allowed me to be involved in interesting projects and work and develop skills I didn't realise I had
My colleagues have been supportive the whole way through my placement year and no questions or issue has ever seemed too small. I have been enabled to contribute to important projects and my input and contribution has been recognised and valued meaning I have never been made to feel like 'the intern'
My team felt like a very paternal unit and I have been supported since I started. There has been much focus on my personal development and they really listened to what I wanted to get out of this year.
Always things that can be done as they allow you to take the initiative and follow your own projects and leads.
I was given lots of responsibility
The experience helped me develop new skills and recognise my strengths
The Company
Communities vibes in the office, everyone looks out for each other and is made to feel welcome
My line manager and team made sure I had valuable work the whole way through my placement and made sure I had he necessary tools to achieve this
Asked me what I wanted out of the placement and helped me achieve it
