Finance and Commercial Academy Review

Currently working in the finance department (Reporting and Controlling) at Siemens Magnet Technology. My day to day basis I look after all the cost center and make sure they are in line with Forecast and budget. During month end, I built all the reports needed by the finance team.

Yes, as this is a very small team, I have noticed, I am more organized and take a lot more responsibility.

I think it is an amazing opportunity, I feel a lot more confident in myself and I feel I have developed a lot.

Siemens is a very good company. Diversity and equality is key. I feel very valued and get a lot appreciation by my colleagues.

It is very structured, two 6 months placement followed by two 12 months. The people involved are always happy to help.

I have about 2/3 training per year and it helps in the everyday activity. They offer great support in terms of developing skills.

I have a one to one meeting with my placement manager every week. Once a week everyone on the scheme have a meeting with our manager to discuss any issues.

It is not bad, bearing in mind the more exams passed, you get a little pay rise. when moving location, you are allowed to a relocation fees.

Yes, there are always some events happing around the country within the Siemens community.

Yes

Because it is a very established and well know business, providing a wide range of product and services. People are always friendly and happy to help.

Be very careful, especially during the recruitment process. Be prepared to be put on the spot. Pay attention to the very small details.
