Summer Intern PMO GS IT Review

My work involved being in constant contact with product owners, as a developer I can really appreciate when I'm set in place with a cooperating client and in good communication with them. They made me feel very welcome and I started working at the Siemens Standard quickly. Credit goes to my manager Mr. Siemon Clarke, who has been an inspiration to continue to do my best at this job. Great placement and got a lot more out of it than I expected. Would love to work in a tech company like this one for such a great work experience and office environment.

To an extent I was a short term intern, however was immediately welcomed as part of the Siemens family and got very close with my colleagues. Since my work involved being in constant contact with my client, I was constantly getting feedback and praise for my work and this really made me feel valued. That i could make a difference in a company in such a short time. My opinion, thoughts and ideas expressed were very keenly listened to and acted upon, and I am grateful for that as i truly believe it can help Siemens progress as a company that prides itself on being ingenuine and forward thinking.

since my placement was short, I was seen to and looked after very well, this means that they wouldn't ever overload me with tasks I would not be able to do as a short term employee, however knowing my capabilities, they assigned work to me that they have proved to be well more than happy with. One of my solutions are even being taken live by Siemens.

First few days were quite free for me, however as the tasks came in I tended to be more hooked to my screen. As it was development, The work I did and finished was refined constantly throughout work time. Working in an Agile fashion, and improving on feedback and thoughts by my client kept me very busy during my time in Siemens.

I was the only developer in the team for the project we were working on, hence it put quite a lot of work and time pressure on me.

I applied for this internship with the intention to understand the overall functionality of IT related operations in the IT departments of this company. I made this very clear in my CV and cover letter, and my manager has been very thorough on the flow of projects in his division by explaining the processes required at each stage of projects and change requests. This has helped my with my development for Siemens Live site and additionally, I now have new skills like teamwork/collaboration, reporting, documentation and other technical skills like furthering my knowledge in Excel and newly in SharePoint.

Quite lively and uplifting. I've told my manager how I've really enjoyed the working environment here and how I will be looking closely to future jobs that can compete with the mood in the office space like Siemens has.

I had a little trouble with on boarding documents but that was a problem from my university side not the company, I have to say that Siemens had been very helpful during that time and arranged everything for me with no hassle.

I was offered Training both online and on the job. I have new certifications from my time at siemens. so i would say i was invested in quite fairly, During work trips and off site meetings, I was well compensated with hotel rooms and overtime among serveral other avenues of help.

The company offers many areas to explore and improve on, they offer room to grow and expand in your career.

Yes, I've met some great people in this company, both in the site i worked in and in other countries. But the relationship i had with fellow students and other intern were unlike any other. I see it as we are all in similar situations ins the office and are here to learn as much as we can before we leave.

The cost of living was a little higher than where i moved from but the company had very fairly compensated me in my salary.

Honestly quite terrible. perhaps not for the other employees here but as a student i found it rather lacking.

Yes, being next to the beach specifically put forward many things to do outside work, in addition my placement took place during summer so I've definitely made the most of it.
