About the application process

The nervousness before the first real job interview I ever had in my life was quickly taken away by the young and open-minded team at GONSER.

Already at the interview, I met sympathetic people and could imagine that I would feel comfortable in this company.

Already at the first interview, it became clear to me that this was exactly the right internship for me. I also felt comfortable at all times during the assessment, and the tasks I was allowed to solve immediately appealed to me. This did not change during my internship. Therefore, my expectations of the internship were fully met, and I already had a good idea of what to expect at GONSER before my first working day.

About the areas of responsibility

During my internship, I was able to get to know many different aspects of online retail; the tasks are diverse. You experience the challenges of almost all steps – from production to customer service.

Since my tasks were often located at interfaces of different work areas, I had the opportunity to look into other departments besides business development and supply chain management and to work cross-departmentally with them. Through the diverse work, I gained a good overview of how an online shop works.

About the company culture

What struck me positively from the beginning was the open communication among each other, whether business or private. This allowed me to learn something new every day, better understand processes, and gain a comprehensive insight into an exciting and dynamic industry. It is also highly appreciated and taken seriously when you actively approach people and contribute your own ideas and wishes.

The great team at GONSER made it easier for me to start working life. I quickly felt like part of the team and was surprised that we interns were immediately treated as equal employees on an equal footing. I could ask questions at any time if I was unsure.

What surprised me particularly positively was the team cohesion at GONSER. Shared breaks are standard, and it is not about topics you would expect from a parents' coffee gathering, but here too, the young dynamic of the team is reflected. This dynamic also made it particularly easy for me to get started. The open communication, whether in a private or business context, shapes the atmosphere. Here you never feel that you are not allowed to ask something, and your own wishes or ideas are always welcome.

How they have grown

I was allowed to organize my work myself and decide when to do what. I could always count on the support of the other employees. Combined with the high level of independence, of course, came great responsibility. I quickly realized that, unlike my previous student life, my work can also have concrete effects on others and thus on the company's success.

Especially the philosophy of not only giving interns simple and trivial tasks but actively involving them in tasks and giving them their own responsibilities impressed me. All this was confirmed during my internship, and in this way, I was challenged but also, I think, benefited enormously from the internship in this modern environment.

Independent work shaped the entire internship and also helped me in all other areas of life. But you have to be aware of this and know how to deal with it. For me, self-responsibility is definitely a plus if you take on the challenge! Now I can head towards my studies with a backpack full of experience, impressions, and memories.
