The Siemens Internship usually requires traveling globally and working abroad. Not everyone is cut out for traveling for work. It can impact one's work/life balance, and many people have difficulties with culture shock and homesickness. This question helps them explore how cultured you are and your comfort level with spending periods immersed in another culture and language. If you are not interested in working abroad or business travel, you're likely not a great fit for this opportunity.

Present yourself as culturally flexible. Use this as an opportunity to express your enthusiasm for traveling abroad and experiencing other cultures. Share the experiences you've had, and where you'd love to explore and spend more time next. Avoid asking clarifying questions you should already know the answer to. For example, asking if you'll need a work visa or sharing that you wouldn't be able to afford to travel and live abroad would be misguided. On their website, they share that they'll do most of the work in getting any visas or resident permits you might need, as well as assisting with the cost of relocation for you and your family. Remember, as they say repeatedly on their sites, you are in the driver's seat of your career.
