From the first time we opened our doors to interns around 15 years ago, we knew that their time with us and our tech professionals is about something much more than just honing their tech skills.
It was about getting first-hand experience at working on real projects, getting a feel of the potential issues that may arise during the development process, learning how to rely on other teams and team members, and above all – getting a feel of the company culture we’ve established, the one we’re so proud of.
Helping young and aspiring techies cut their teeth in the tech world is part of our mission – to share knowledge and to help people grow. As we’ve grown as a company, our internship program has changed – thanks to the feedback from our alumni – and we decided to take a look back at what we’ve achieved so far, and learn more about how we can do even better in the years to come.
The numbers and facts below speak for themselves.
