What I cherished the most during my internship was the incredible team I had the privilege of working with, including my manager and mentor. Their support, guidance and willingness to assist, even when they had their own busy schedules, left a lasting impression on me. Learning from such dedicated individuals continues to be a rewarding experience, and it has shaped my professional growth.
Maria Chervenkova Junior Software Engineer
I absolutely loved onboarding and how much attention I received throughout the onboarding process. My mentors and manager allowed me to do my work at my own pace without any pressure, which helped me become a lot more responsible and independent. I also loved that I had the opportunity to explore and learn what “real-life” work experiences are like. Throughout the entire internship and in my time at the company, I have gained not only technical and work-related knowledge, but also valuable experience in communicating and building relationships with other people.
