  • 9b. Why?
  • Siemens is a great company to work for. It provides you with vast opportunities and huge amounts of training and support. The atmosphere within the company is very friendly which contributes to the immense supportive nature.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Siemens?
  • Be yourself. Don't believe that you have to become a leader in a team event on the assessment day. They are more looking for whether you can work effectively within the team. Try and pitch your best traits as best as possibly. Always do your research, and when looking at Siemens try researching the organization structure as it has been reshuffled and not many understand it that well, so this will probably impress the panel, if understood.
