  • 4. How valued do you feel by Siemens?
  • I feel we haven't had a lot of chance to interact with our managers and are very rarely assigned tasks, however it is very easy to find work among the various areas within the company such as on site or engineering.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It feels like sometimes they don't know what to do with us and that a lot of the time they aren't prepared for us wherever we are placed with the exception of a few departments. Our 2-monthly meetings aren't 2-monthly however they cover more than enough information.
