Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
3/5
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
3/5
I actually really enjoyed the work experience provided by Siemens. It was extremely fun and entertaining to complete. I really liked the live webinars, where you could ask different people in different sectors about thier day to day jobs and any question that you would want to ask them. The webinars were extremely useful to see if you could see yourself doing similar jobs in the future.
How well organised was your work experience?
3/5
It was well organised as there were lots of work that i could complete each day without fail. Each module would contain lots of videos or interactive activities that would require lots of concentration. At the end of each module there would be a test, I found it useful as would mean that you couldn't cheat your way through the course.
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
2/5
This work experience provided by Siemens has helped me a lot in terms of deciding which career path I would like to go down towards. The work experience has helped me in choosing between doctor or an engineer which i have been debating for quite some time now. So overall, I feel it was useful.
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
1/5
I was not paid any money for this course. However, I do not mind this what so ever, this is because I was bale to learn a lot of knowledge and got an understanding while going through this course. I do not feel that Siemens should pay any money as I am not helping them.
Skills Development
What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
3/5
I got an idea for how a day to day job in Siemens would be like. I also could see the different sectors in Siemens itself. Siemens could also help me see if I could see myself do this job in my future or if engineering could be my future career.
Company Culture
How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?
2/5
I learnt quite a lot of good imformation while working for in the course. The culture of the company is shown to be really good and inclusive which was really good to see. The course exemplified Siemens dedication for inclusivity and how it includes women and people of different colour.
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
2/5
Yes, there were lots of opportunities to meet other employees through live webinars, however apart from that there were none other. The employees could help you with challenging problems such as a project or any question that I wanted to ask. In future i think that there should be a few more webinars over a longer period of time.
