I took this position out of a strong interest in learning and developing my skills, even though I was aware from the start that promotion opportunities are limited and can take a long time—often around a decade to move up to the next level. While that timeline may seem discouraging, I’m personally fine with it as long as my career path doesn’t feel linear or stagnant, meaning I continue to receive training, development, and new challenges. That said, I sometimes feel that the company does not fully support career development, especially when it comes to structured learning. While there are many external training opportunities available, the company often relies on senior staff to train junior employees, which is difficult to implement in practice. Everyone is busy with their own responsibilities, and teaching complex topics—especially those outside of daily tasks—requires time and effort that’s hard to spare. In many cases, I’ve been assigned tasks outside my job scope, and I’ve had to self-learn from scratch using online resources. While this shows trust in my ability to adapt, it can be inefficient and draining, especially when it distracts from my core responsibilities. It also suggests that the company may undervalue formal technical training, particularly for junior roles, and sometimes even for senior ones.
This graduate position offers me a great learning and career path. They offer me to move to another country as part of their way to develop the employee. I still have no idea about the promotion possibilities for me, but i can see that prysmian prioritizing internal hiring and promotion which is a good sign.
Opportunities for learning and moving in my role. Performance is key.
