Pashalia Mandratzi, intern

“I wanted to join a relatively large group that offered prospects for my future after my internship. It was clear from the start that MAHLE was the right choice: from the super-quick, well-organized application phase through the warm welcome by the team to the close supervision during my internship. I have a lot of freedom in how I approach my tasks, I can contribute my own ideas, and I’m always taken seriously. The conditions are ideal for my professional and personal development.”

Kevin Polaczek, student writing his final thesis

“I deliberately applied to MAHLE for my final thesis, because the company combines innovation with a family atmosphere. I am optimally supported here and can get the most out of myself. In addition, MAHLE is making a major contribution to creating a more climate-friendly mobility industry—a path that I would like to help shape.”
