The Role
Amazing experience, great learning curve, good environment
Empowered by management and respected by colleagues
Right balance between support and guidance and autonomy to do my day to day job
there were different periods, some busier than others, long days happened but always rewarding and by my own choice
I was given projects and empowered to make decisions but could always ask for help
Both on the content of the job and the soft skills on the side, everything I learnt will be reapplicable
The Company
Good atmosphere but mostly focused on work.
From the hiring process to the last day, there was a clear plan and dates
I had access to the same trainings as every employee and was strongly encouraged to follow trainings and get accreditations.
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Financial Bonus
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Working from home
Opportunities exist to get a job within a department of the company
The Culture
Good group with the other interns, opportunities to meet during the day and after work.
I was given the opportunity to enlist in volunteering ork and apply the skills I acquired during the internship.
