I wish to shed some light on my experiences as a Non-European Intern at AVL Software and Functions GmbH in the HiL and VCU departments. This review is intended to put forth a question about the integrity and work culture at AVL. I have worked for more than a year in the above-mentioned departments.
Starting with the HiL Department. I was assigned a German mentor working under a German Manager. The fact that they were German must be taken seriously. To start off, I was essentially picked up by this department for work pertaining to HiL testing and simulations. To my surprise, as the very first task, I was asked by my Manager to carry out the shifting of technical apparatus from one room to another for a different department altogether. At that time, I was not sure if it was my responsibility to handle such kind of work, especially for another department. I carried out the work without asking any questions. That was a good thing to do on my part but was it ethical on the Manager’s part? I was never actually properly mentored by my mentor. Further, I was never assigned any proper task which ultimately resulted in wastage of my crucial time which I could have utilized

The rules should be homogeneous and equality should exist for people from all nationalities.
