What attracted you to Linde? From contributing to different industries such as Semiconductor and Chemicals to providing Oxygen to Hospitals, Linde is a major player in different markets, and I believed it would be fulfilling to work for a company which activities spans across multiple sectors and aims to improve businesses and the lives of many. It was also important for me to work for a company that subscribes to values I care about, and after my internship with Linde in 2019, I realized that Linde conducts its business with integrity, accountability and commitment to communities at its core and cares about its employees.
What do you like about working at Linde? I get to work alongside very talented and supportive individuals that not only challenge me to grow but are also always willing to impart their knowledge, offer assistance and guidance whenever needed. After rotating through three groups and graduating into my current role, I can attest that the people I work with make this job more rewarding and enjoyable.
How has Linde supported your career development? My managers have always sought to understand my aspirations and helped me visualize my future with the organization by inciting discussions to explore career paths and development opportunities. Even as a HyTOP, we discussed my next rotations, the potential future roles and the skills needed to excel in those. I believe mentorship is another vital aspect of my career development within Linde – getting to tap into the knowledge of a more senior employee (my mentor) has been invaluable.
What was the most significant benefit of participating in a development program? The opportunity to build valuable skills while exploring different roles and teams, interface with various functional groups and build my network, as well as gain insight on possible career paths.
