I would say strong EXCEL skill is very necessary. It really saves a lot of time during work. I would recommend taking an advanced Excel course on coursera.

Software Engineer
January - August 2019 • Cincinnati, OH
What I liked
Siemens offers an amazing working environment. It is professional enough to keep me on top of my work but relaxed enough for me to take a break and chat with friends if I need to. Because Siemens employs so many co-ops, it is very easy to meet other students and gain new friends.
I always had a mentor who took the time to make sure I understood what I need to, and was happy to answer my questions.
I always felt like my work was important and that my peers/team members valued my work and input.
What I wish was different
Advice
You will hardly ever get anything you do not ask for. If you see an opportunity arise that you want to take advantage/be a part of then ask to do so. Things will not be handed to you, but more often than not, others are happy to help you get the things you want.
And NEVER be afraid to ask a question!

The experience gained and the fact you can start building an in industry resume is great. Siemens also likes to "hire within" so if you become tired of your job you can easily find a different role within the company.
What I wish was different
Being in digital marketing is not exactly what I want to do, but as I said, it is a way into the company.
Advice
Relax, during interviews, during your first day, just relax. Everyone knows and understands your new and they want you to succeed
