The Role
Great place to work, placement very well organised.
I had a very good experience with the colleagues. All interns get the same treatment as any other full time employee.
There was always somebody there to ask if you needed help.
I had a steady inflow of projects and got to travel a lot around Europe as part of it.
I was responsible for my own projects that I was in charge of. Mainly building demos for events.
I have learnt a lot of useful stuff that are new to the industry but not yet taught at University. Thanks to exposure to real world work I now have a good idea what I want to do once I graduate.
The Company
I mostly worked on my own
The placement a general structure to make it meaningful however it was flexible to accommodate your own preferences of what you want to work on too.
There were trainings always available.
