The Role
Really pleasant company to work for, especially as an intern
All my colleagues were really nice and experienced, ready to help. Delightful to work with.
You need help, you ask for it, you've got it, even more than you need!
You need to ask for work if you need to, and being creative is essential here.
Enough responsability for an intern.
Great skills for this position, even though I found afterwards that it wasn't exactly what i wanna do later.
The Company
I'd say studious.
Basic openspace.
Internal formation was available for an intern, which is not very common.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
If you work well, you will definitely have a chance.
The Culture
They weren't so much interns alongside me.
Cherry Hinton is an expensive neighborhood.
Cherry Hinton is not here for partying all night, but cambridge is not that far away.
Frequent sport activities were proposed, as well as Lunch and Learn or Technical conferences every week.
