Hello everybody!!! Our names are Lena and Laura, we both study in the same Grande Ecole in France, IPAG and we are about
to complete our 16 week-internship in
Oracle in the UK. Below a summary of our experience! My name is Lena. I am 20 years old and joined
Oracle UK in September 2010 – more specifically, I joined the EMEA Graduate's Recruitment Team (EMEA stands for Europe, Middle East and Africa), and I have learned a lot about working life. It was a really good experience, which made me realize that I soon will be looking for a fulltime employee in a company in less than 3 years. I am glad
to have had this first experience in
Oracle. First of all because it's a very welcoming company which treats interns as employees and gives them the opportunity
to show their potential. I also discovered that it is nice
to work in a company where everybody knows everybody, and where the atmosphere is really good. The multicultural aspect is one of the most important and beautiful elements of
Oracle. It gives you the opportunity
to have contacts in many parts of the world and discover a lot of nice people. During my internship I learned a lot about Recruitment. I discovered I want
to work in a Human Resources role after I graduate. I like the contact I will have with candidates and the fact that I have
to be in touch with managers and understand their needs. I would be glad
to work for the company in the near future. I would like
to thank all my team members for welcoming me like they did. It was a real pleasure
to share this experience in
Oracle and in this team and I hope
to return after I graduate. Hi all! I am Laura. My wish for this internship was
to focus on training of personal skills for employees and, by the same time of course, for the company’s development.... and I did it in the OTD team (EMEA Organization Talent Development Team). I could not have done something better than this! It was truly instructive. I learnt how
to work in such a big international company, the values and the rules
to follow and
to interact and be part of the organisation. In
Oracle, there are so different aspects of every department, so many possibilities in HR as well as in Finance or Sales... The jobs are very various and the employees’ cultures are also really different thanks
to this international and multicultural company. I am working with OTD for the entire EMEA region, having many of my colleagues in other countries, with other cultures, other ways
to work, and other ways
to think... this is so inspiring!
Oracle offers the best environment
to learn about a job, as well as
to learn about work life in such large companies. This company is about new technologies, it always goes fast, and everything changes quickly! You have
to be aware of these changes and keep track of the wishes of customers. For OTD of course, these customers are the employees. Looking back I have learnt more then I would have ever thought and I know that it is what I want
to do... And now I hope
to come back again! I want
to thank all my team for welcoming me and integrating me with such happiness. I will truly miss them!! If you have any questions related
