  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • It's good to understand how different departments work within a large corporation and I feel you learn that working for PSA. Also the day to day challenges you face increase your learning and understanding for each task and it is easy to ask questions to your line manager so you are never left stuck on what to do.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Stellantis?
  • Research the company. It is always useful to see what products they have available and what cars might be being produced in the future as this might be what you're working on. Don't panic in the interview or assessment day and any tasks you might face don't be shy and try your best.
