The Role
I really appreciated the international environment and learned a lot.
I had friendly colleagues who helped me a lot whenever needed being for paperwork or technical questions.
I had a supportive manager who also gave me enough space to take the lead of the project.
I had some periods with less work so I can't say it was perfect balanced, but it gave me the opportunity to work on my school internship report which was really useful.
I evolved throughout my internship and ended up with a key leading position for the project.
I developped and used my technical skills but also discovered some notions which are not necessarily studied at the university such as politics and diplomacy at work.
The Company
It was balanced.
Everything was organised and I had everything I needed to work from day 1.
I had a great training with dedicated time slots, I really enjoyed it.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
Working from home
I am expecting a future employment but nothing secured yet.
The Culture
We were only a few women in my office but there was a good ambiance with my colleagues.
Coming from Paris where everything is expensive, I found it quite cheap !!
I needed to drive to the closest city (30 minutes) for nightlife !!
