The Role
PSA Peugeot Citroën is a stunning company to work for. It provides you with great local and international opportunities, interesting tasks and projects and continuous support.
I have made the most of that placement thanks to my manager and colleague. I felt very welcome in the team.
My manager and team were always available to help and support me throughout my placement.
I had a lot to do but still enough time to help on new projects and enjoy my personal life.
My manager encouraged me to work on very valuable projects with senior managers and different team. If you can handle responsibilities, some will be given to you.
Working daily with very skilled and dedicated people and an international team has been an incredible professional experience.
