Porsche reviews

- Porsche uses interns to replace full-time employees. This means that, depending on your position and the current projects, you have to do secretary's work or the work the full-time employees don't want to do themselves. On the other hand, you might also get assignments with responsibilities that go beyond a typical internship's focus, which is a great thing, and if you are willing to take that challenge, you will be able to gain a lot. - The promotion system is not clear, and form what I witnessed, it takes a long time to even get the first promotion. - Middle-management is over-worked and thus refuses to make important decisions, nonwithstanding of potential ramifications. - Although collegues are generally nice, there is a lot of gossiping, and there can be some "ellbow-mentality" amongst fellow interns. - Middle-management may raise your hopes to get the opportunity to write your thesis at Porsche, but it won't happen. Same goes for finding a job. They put your name in the "Praktikanten Pool", but since Porsche has so many interns every year, it's gonna be impossible to get a job through the bonus of "being a former intern"

- growth opportunities are limited and it might take 5 years to advance to the next level - since it's a small firm there aren't many management positions available - Stuttgart isn't my favorite place to live
