Great corporate and management exposure

I have a good relationship with all employees, even people out of my departments as this is our companies culture at Philips.My daily duties include working on these KPIs or doing extra projects and work my managers delegate to me. I have learnt many a lot about data analysis, deep diving into problem areas for problem identification and finding solutions The challenging aspects was learning about the company and how this healthcare FM-CG global business works. For customer service, we are required to understand every part of the business from finances, to logistics and engineer dispatching, My current position is very corporate based with a lot of finance, management and analytics, however I would like to see my career as an electrical engineer move towards the technical side where I can apply what I have studied so hard towards in my degree.

Pros: Global company, healthcare industry, good career development
Cons: Corporate lifestyle, unstructured internship program, low salary

Telephone queries, helping staff and students.. Capturing test and exam marks on the system.

Dealing with staff and student queries. Students both undergraduate and postgraduate. I have an excellent relationship with my co-workers. We work independently, as well as a team. I have learnt various systems, i.e. SMS, Moodle. Rules and policies. I love the interaction with the staff and students. Dealing with parents and their queries. The most challenging is when it comes to tests and exams, it gets very stressful. Which is per semester.

Pros: Love the interaction with staff and students
Cons: None.

Daily review

Working at the company is very taxing and stressful as the hours are long and there is little scope for climbing up the corporate ladder.. however they do make their payments to staff in a timely manner so it is worth it for a temporary job.

Pros: Timely payment
Cons: Long hours

Good working environment. Great space to learn new and innovative ideas.

The personal office setting is the best aspect of the work. The manager was extremely unfair and created a very negative environment. I believe that learning in this environment is very vital.
