Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved me with working with internal customers to ensure their HR application was up and running. I would need to speak to external suppliers of these applications on occasion to set up SSO connections, SFTP connections other things. A key project I was working with at Siemens was the data migration of the HR data to a new database.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given many applications that I had to manage, which in my opinion was quite a bit of responsibility. I was provided the help and support needed to succeed if required.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
