Continental AG

Financial Controller Intern

June 2021 • Sejong City, South Korea

What I liked

I was able to support the finance team by using SAP and Excel. The internship experience taught me how SAP is used in large global companies. The team allowed me to implement python automation to daily tasks.

What I wish was different

This plant is located in the outskirts of Sejong City. They provide shuttle rides but do not provide housing. Location can be better.

Advice

It's a German automotive company in South Korea. Working here would be an unique experience. But I wouldn't recommend to those who are not interested in working at a finance team or in the automotive industry in the future.

Being able to work on a bunch of different projects at once and know that I'm contributing to a real application.

I wish I had the chance to work in a team of interns.

Always find something to keep yourself busy. Sometimes you won't be able to report to a manager or ask for help so it's important to have several things to work on.

IT Software Engineer

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Internships are the best way to gain experience in a field you plan on working in one day. I had to go outside of my comfort zone to write code by myself and hold myself accountable for getting things done. It taught me that I am capable of much more than I realize and with time and effort, I can achieve the goals I am asked to meet.

Hardware Electrical Engineering Intern

March 2018 • Troy, MI

What I liked

How Continental makes sure interns learn and experience things that will be beneficial to them in the future. They get them involved in testing, important documentation, training in software that is important to know when we get into the field, and many more things. They also offer a mentorship program and intern research project that are both great.

What I wish was different

I wish that the mentor program would not have been cancelled this year due to not enough interest. It was extremely beneficial to me last year and I would have liked another year with a mentor to learn more about the company and exploring the different career paths that Conti can offer.

Advice

I would say to push yourself to learn as much as you can and try to get involved in as much as you can. Sign up for training in different subjects, ask questions, ask to be assigned challenging tasks, get a mentor, get involved in the intern research project, whatever you can get yourself involved in, try to do it all so you learn as much as possible and can take advantage to all the different potentials of growth and to prove yourself that are offered to you.
