Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Siemens to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I used to work within Siemens as a Temporary worker during Covid, and throughout that timeframe they were keen for me to do an apprenticeship for project management, this opporutunity was one that was highlighted to me through multiple means and recommended for me. I couldn't say no!
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Siemens?
Be yourself, don't hide anything and just be confident in what you're going to do.
