Camilo

"The engineering internship program brought me to Otis initially. The program had a great structure and gave me the opportunity to work on the design of a real tool to be used in rescue operations for high rise buildings. This assignment showed me that Otis empowers employees to make products that make an impact from day one, which motivated me to accept my full-time offer. The opportunity to work with diverse teams all around the world, the broad nature of our engineering assignments, and being able to work on a fundamental technology to enable urban life as we know it have kept me here."

"I have started with Otis just after my graduation, the curiosity to the technical aspect of the lift and to the managerial skills required in handling projects took me to the world leader in the elevators industry. Technical & Sales skills were developed, and what made me stay in Otis is the cultural diversity within the company, the international experience through open communication with Otis teams worldwide and the cutting edge products that insure clients satisfaction."

Megan

"I grew up in Bloomington, IN, down the street from where the old Otis Factory was located. My dad has worked for Otis my entire life. I participated in "bring your child to work day" many times in my childhood and used elevator prints as my coloring books. In 2015 after my Freshman year at Indiana University, I started working at Otis as an intern for New Equipment Marketing and continued working part time through school. When I graduated, I started working in the local Indianapolis office in March 2018. I love my job! We like to have fun in the local office with different outings and volunteer opportunities. I feel like I can really make a difference with my customers and I get rewarded for my hard work."
