Overview
Supporting team with projects and ongoing topics, liaising with other departments to achieve resolution to topics in a quick and effective manner. Supporting with the supply of parts lineside
Skills
Project management, time management, developed IT skills, developed better understanding of logistical and business processes
Responsibilities
I was given plenty of responsibility, forcing me to be proactive when seeking support and information. I lead and steered multiple topics and supported on many others
Support & Guidance
My immediate team were fantastic and incredibly supportive, there were others outside of my home department that were also very helpful and supportive
Culture
Unfortunately due to covid I don't feel I could give an accurate reflection of this. There was a good atmosphere most of the time in the office. As for events there have not been many.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my work, when the projects had a feeling of adding value. The team, my immediate team were fantastic and can only speak highly of them. Company culture can be hit or miss sometimes, there are a lot of older mentalities that may prove challenging for some younger individuals (change management especially) I would most likely return given the opportunity
Yes
Ask questions, make as many new connections as possible because you find yourself seeing similar faces everywhere in and around topics. Put the prep work into your interview and assessment, but most importantly be yourself, interviewers are pretty hot on people that can regurgitate "Buzz words" and have nothing to substantiate them. Be aware that it is a big company and there will be people you don't necessarily agree with, conflict management is important
