In December 2019, Ali started his career at Daikin and 7 months later, he would like to share his experience with you! 

What attracted you to join Daikin?

Already from the 1st year of my mechanical engineering studies, I had strong interest in HVAC systems and Daikin was always appealing to me in this sector. Even when writing my thesis, I have always chosen HVAC related topics and of course put Daikin as my career target. I am always amazed with the quality of the products. But I had no idea how it would be to work at Daikin. Right now, I am satisfied and happy to be part of the Daikin family!

Experiencing the Daikin culture, how is this experience helping you to grow and develop professionally?

Every day I am facing new challenges and learning new things, which is quite important to improve myself. The Daikin culture is one of the most important reasons why I really like to work at Daikin. Everybody including my colleagues and my managers are always being helpful and supportive. This motivates the collaboration and creates a synergy, and it of course increases the efficiency of the work.

Why is the Daikin traineeship a good opportunity for young people, what can they expect to learn and experience? 

This is a unique chance for everybody. I believe that seeing the different perspectives of the company really helps to understand the overall picture of the company. It also a super important chance to create your network from different departments in order to have better communication. When you are a global trainee, you will learn many things. I definitely recommend it.

Can you tell us something more about your experience during COVID-19 times?

At the current moment, I am in Strategic Planning and we are working on F25 process. In these challenging times, I believe as a team we had great communication and this kept us up to date. I sometimes even had an online coffee break with my teammates. 

Online tools helped a lot to have our meetings. We created some workshops online which was planned face to face. I believe it was a quite success to collaborate all together and create some outputs. I also believe our new future is required adapting the changes in a timely manner. And these unpredicted changes show that all of our colleagues are agile enough to adapt. I am proud to be the part of the Daikin family.
