Personally, I have found it great to experience a wide variety of engineering disciplines throughout my rotations. It has given me an understanding of what different people are really working on within Saab, rather than being siloed off in my own little corner.

The coolest thing about being an engineer is being able to see large-scale projects come to fruition. Being able to build relationships within your team and other teams within the organisation is also very satisfying as well as being able to work within a team that everyone can thrive in.
Don’t limit yourself to working with the same people. As an engineer, it’s important to be able to work with a range of people, and you will not always be on the same project with the same people. This is also the best way to gain a range of different experiences and knowledge.
