Testimonials from several Mercedes-Benz Canada stars, from an intern to an executive:
“Mercedes-Benz is more than a car brand; it’s a futuristic, technological brand continuing to research and evolve its strategy as a digital and luxurious company, all while championing sustainable initiatives.”
“This company grants its members the opportunity to professionally grow and discover the extent of the brand and its presence in all countries. You are granted the opportunity to drive innovation in several sectors, as this company allows you to take your career wherever you like with our very robust framework of opportunities, whether it’s rotations, international assignments, education programs and more.”
“As an intern, I feel a great sense of responsibility and accountability at Mercedes-Benz. The high level of responsibility and contribution found in our internship programs is unlike my experience anywhere else.”
“Most people, if not everyone, seek a great balance of life at work and outside of it. At Mercedes-Benz, not only does your work life grant you exciting opportunities, but you are also afforded great understanding of your time outside of work - including the right to disconnect.”
“Working for Mercedes-Benz, it’s certainly the brand and the pillars - but at the end of the day, once you’re in, it’s about the people, the experience, diverse cultures and backgrounds, everyone’s experience driving in one direction.”
