9. FAQs

10. Got questions about INKOMPASS? We're here to answer them all
Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
The main purpose of this international student internship program is to
contribute to your journey of self-discovery. This is why it is structured in 2
cycles:
The 1st one will give you the opportunity to discover the different aspects of
our company (people, culture, processes) through projects that will require
you to interact with people from different functions/departments.
If you are invited to join and continue with the 2nd cycle, the focus is to give
you the opportunity to experience a deep dive into a specific department or
functional area. You will achieve this by working on a Business Project that will
allow you to discover this particular function’s challenges, opportunities,
processes and systems.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

11. Contd..
All in all, the 2nd cycle approach gives us a better chance to get to know you
while you learn more about PMI and the different aspects of the business here.
Eventually, this will help you decide if a career in PMI is what you are looking
for.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

12. What happens if I don’t want to commit myself to participate in
the 2nd cycle?
We believe that by participating in both cycles of the program, you will
have a more rounded internship experience. It will not only help you
discover yourself, but also have the opportunity to receive a job offer prior
to your graduation and/or acquire portable skills that will provide you with
solid credentials.
However, we understand that this internship is an opportunity of mutual
discovery: We discover the best fitting interns to invite for the next cycle
and a potential job placement with us. YOU get to discover us as a
company and at the same time experience great self-development
opportunities. We strive to ensure you have a great 1st cycle experience so
that you eagerly look forward to making the cut to the group that gets
selected for the 2nd cycle.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

13. What happens between the 2 cycles of internship?
There are several ways we will keep in touch with you during the 2 cycles of
your internship. Since one of the key benefits of the program is the
opportunity to build international networks, as an INKOMPASS intern, you
will be invited to join an exclusive mobile app together with interns around
the globe. This will give you a chance to interact and exchange ideas and
experiences with other fellow interns as well as with PMI Coaches and
Leaders that are part of the INKOMPASS alumni community. You will also
be invited to stay in touch with your Coach and the Company. This
connection will be maintained between the two cycles, even when you are
back in the university.

14. I reside outside of the country where I would like to do my
internship, can I still apply to the program?
Of course you can apply! Before applying please consider:
1. You need to have a valid work permit for the country you would like to
work in;
2. The selection process will be held in Italy and the internship program
itself will take place in Rome or Bologna, so you should be willing to
relocate. We will provide accommodation and reimburse travel expenses
for those candidates who will attend the On-ground Assessment in
Bologna in May.

to participate in an exciting on-ground assessment day, consisting of
different activities and fun exercises that you will go through individually

22. Will I be assigned a group project or an individual project?
The projects that we assign to our INKOMPASS interns are carefully selected
by our teams in each country. Depending on the scope and the expected
deliverables of these projects, we decide if it is best that they are carried out
individually or by a project team. In any case, we always make sure that all of
our projects meet high quality standards and that they are meaningful and
challenging for our interns.
Interns are never alone during their INKOMPASS experience. They receive
support, coaching and feedback from their Coaches, Project Sponsors and
Buddies.

23. Will I receive guidance and support while I work on my project?
Definitely yes! On your INKOMPASS journey, there will be three important
people appointed whose main focus will be to ensure you have a great
learning experience that allows you to discover yourself.
You will be assigned a COACH, typically a functional Manager, who will
introduce you to your project, explain what is expected from you, guide you
and provide you feedback as well as help you build connections and
relationships with different people and departments from the Company.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

24. Contd..
The PROJECT SPONSOR is the owner of the project you will be working on.
During your internship, he/she will make sure you have everything you
need to be able to deliver and/or execute your proposals. Along with your
Coach, he/she will also provide you with regular feedback.
Last but not least, you will also receive support from your BUDDY who will
help you with day-to-day questions and provide you advice regarding your
project work based on his/her own knowledge and experience.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

25. What is the criteria for advancement (or not) into the 2nd cycle of
the program? How will I be assessed?
As soon as you join us for your INKOMPASS internship, your Coach will
introduce you to your project. This project will have a definite scope and
deliverables based on which you will be assessed. At Philip Morris
International we believe that WHAT you are able to achieve and deliver is
important, but HOW you do it as well. This is why you will also be assessed
on the behaviours you display along your internship which should be aligned
with our company’s work ethics.
The final assessment will take place at the end of each internship cycle,
however you will receive feedback throughout the experience so that you
are able to understand what is expected from you. We will also give you
guidance on how to achieve it.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

26. Will I receive feedback regarding my performance? When?
Your Coach and Project Sponsor will provide you with feedback throughout
your INKOMPASS experience. It is important for us to make sure you have a
fulfilling learning experience, so we also want to learn from YOU! Your
insights, feedback and ideas are very valuable to us, therefore we are looking
forward to hearing from you!

27. Can I use my internship project experience as a university
assignment and / or as credits for graduation?
We can discuss this topic individually, but you may use your internship
project experience as university assignment as long as our internship
program meets the requirements defined by your academic institution and
it does not hinder the confidentiality of the information shared with you
through the project.
For more information visit here : https://www.inkompass.global/italy-internship-program

28. Will I receive a job offer with Philip Morris International when I
complete my internship?
INKOMPASS is a journey of mutual discovery. You get the chance to discover
yourself, the Company and your interest to join us. We may also provide the
best fitting interns with a job offer.
We do this by conducting an individual assessment at end of each internship
cycle – based on your project deliverables and the behaviours you displayed
throughout the internship – if you meet the required performance
standards, you may receive a job offer on the last day of your 2nd cycle
internship.
