Work: In short

In accordance with some reasonable factors I cannot write about internal processes of company I do an internship and I cannot judge the company and my role within it in public space.

In short:

• The company operates in service industry, B2B.
• It is family owned business.
• Here in NRW (the abbreviation of the region) it has approximately 25 employees and several in the subsidiaries in USA. Some of my colleagues sometimes use to work from home.
• Employees work in small teams, because the company is oriented on executing projects.
• Company is friendly to students – there are several students who support German education system – 3months intensive studies, 3monts an internship.

• My work starts at 8:30 until 17:45
• Our company is located in an hour distance to the city centre of Cologne by public transport.
• So I usually wake up at 6:20 and leave my flat at 7:10 and I am home about at 19:30.
• So to reach the company I need a lot of time but as I am coming together with two colleagues it is always time for talk and having fun. I have to change bus and train.
• Transport is pretty expensive here due to its high quality and convenience. Monthly ticket costs 115 EUR.
• But recently I with colleagues started to drive by car. So every day we four students usually come together by car. I change the regional train (10min) into a car (40min).
