-          "The internship at Rheinmetall offers me a dynamic environment with strong growth, where I can develop professionally and personally through independent projects. I particularly appreciate the feeling of being involved in something really meaningful."

Marco R.

Intern, Markets & M&A, Rheinmetall AG

"Making coffee and photocopying" – how much of your internship is cliché and how much is real responsibility?

I have taken on noticeable responsibility in the M&A team right from the start. I have been allowed to work on projects and carry out tasks independently that challenge me professionally and really help me develop. At the same time, the team is always there to support me: I can rely on my colleagues if I have any questions.

"What I particularly like about Rheinmetall is that I was able to take on responsibility early on and work in a team that involved me from the very beginning. In the Markets & M&A environment, it is extremely exciting to witness strategic decisions up close."

Christian L.

Intern, Markets & M&A, Rheinmetall AG

What does a typical working day look like for you?

My working day is very varied because I work on different projects at the same time, which gives me a broad insight into the M&A sector. I take on key tasks independently, for which I am given a lot of trust and responsibility. Thanks to close communication within the team and continuous involvement in ongoing issues, I am able to expand my technical expertise every day.
