FPGA Design Engineer for Smart Application Intern Review

I knew that it would be a great experience, but it went beyond my expectations. It was challenging and stimulating under many aspects. I felt immediately part of the group and I grew so much as engineer. It helped me to gain a lot of confidence in my skills and to improve them. I met great people and I had a lot of fun as well . Intel is definitely a great company to work at .

I was immediately given a warm welcome as valued member of the team and, more widely, of the office . I was invited to take part to all the initiatives and encouraged to build connections. They made me feel comfortable to sustain conversations and share my opinion on technical subjects and never failed to recognize my work when I delivered good results. Sometimes I even forgot that I was a student and an intern .

My manager was always available to help me with the tasks he assigned me. Always open to talk and attentive that I felt comfortable with the project I was working on. He encouraged me to do my best and offered me stimulating insights and tips on many technical aspects of my work. He also gave me a big support in situations that didn't relate directly to work. For the duration of the internship he made me feel really supported.

This experience gave me the opportunity to put into practice my studies, improve my knowledge and constantly learn something new. It was thrilling to work in such an high skilled environment. It brought my way of thinking engineering from an academical level to a level which is more customer oriented. It also made me understand what work in a team means and because of this how important is to well organize my work and to have a great communication.

The office is a very friendly environment. People are kind and you can easily start chatting with anyone even if he/ she's not in your team or if you don't know him/ her. People are also very willing to help and you can be involved in many interesting events. It is also a very sporty office, you can point a sport and it is almost guaranteed that you'll find someone happy to join you .
