Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I'm currently on a rotation in software i will come in at half 7 and work on my own currently coding until i get stuck or i spot my mentor and grab him to check over it. Do that all day then go home at 4

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

It is good when i have proper work to be doing but im often a little bit of an outcast and dont really get valuable work sometimes.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yeah i would have i have developed a lot of new skills such as coding or designing PCB's. I have also improved existing skills such as my dexterity whilst being on the shop floor.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

I often feel lie there is nothing planned for me and a little bit of an outcast

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I feel like i often have someone to help when i need it

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

2/5

SETA really isnt that great the quality of learning is poor and not relevant to what i do in work at all

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

It doesnt help in terms of learning things for the jobs but the qualification helps tick boxes and allows me to progress.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

3/5

There is definetly possibilities as there used to be loads before Covid but if the question is proposed then it would start up again.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Siemens to a friend?

Yes

Why?

At the end of the day its a good company with lots of benefits. I would say working for Siemens atm is a lot more beneficial than working in the old Reyrolle office.
