Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Preparing reports for the executive office, and getting involved with a variety of projects. The projects take up most of my time, but I had a lot of freedom in selecting them and choosing which ones I would like to get involved with or not.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, in my role most of the tasks were in my full control and my responsibility. While there are always others around to support, I was given full ownership of the tasks and I was able to shape them accordingly.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
5/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Improved a lot in working with data and following not only intuition but also having the insights to support my points. Besides that, improved my ability to work independently and be confident in the accuracy of my work.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Extremely open and aware of the real world. I believe SAP to be one of the most advanced cultures in terms of being in line with the current realities in the world, and moreover SAP doesn't seem to be afraid of having those open conversations.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I believe the only downside to my placement was one that couldn't have been controlled, meaning the effects of the pandemic. SAP has done an excellent job in trying to reach out to its employees, learning from several projects launched to bring people together in these uncertain times.
