Internship

internships

As of 2013, our team has developed one of the most important paid internship programmes in Romania.

Each year, we are scouting for both undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about the field in which we activate, who want and can change the world through technology alongside our team.

Either Olympic winners (who participated in major scientific competitions at several levels) or recommended students, they are welcome to join our team, in order to gain valuable IT&C experience.

We are permanently looking for students who are ready to sign up for one of the two internship sessions we annually have:

  • February – April session
  • July – September session

We have diversified our programme proposal, from one year to another, so that at the moment we can offer as many options as possible to those interested in attending an internship in our team: Business Analyst, Java Programmer, .Net Programmer, Database Administrator, Hardware Engineer (networking), Technical Project Manager, Junior Technical Designer, L1 Support Specialist, Junior Software Developer – Cloud Computing, Technical Support Specialist or Technical Bid Junior.

Those who attend our internships benefit not only from sponsorship from us, but also from the advice of a mentor meant to guide the young talents throughout the 3 months of the programme.

Also, they receive specialized training and they have the opportunity to work with state-of-art technologies: DotNet, Java, Oracle, PMI working methodologies.

At the end of the internship, depending on the results scored within the internship, the students may further carry on their activity within our team, as employees and at the same time, they may develop their Bachelor’s or Master’s dissertation thesis on a joint faculty- research topic.

“Everything was fine in the testing department. As far as I am concerned, I was treated fairly,as any other employee, which is a good thing for my professional and personal development.” – Cristian Ștefan Lascu

“I got used quite quickly with my team mates, we gradually exchanged opinions, we got to know each other better, we worked together and did a great job and our mentors were very open and helped us out each and every time. I think I have entirely integrated into the project team and into the working environment of the company.” – Agnes Bolovan

“The integration exceeded my expectations. I integrated much faster than I would have expected. I was treated as a team member with full rights.” – Roxana Papuc

“I couldn’t possibly say what exactly needs to be improved; I can only say what mattered the most to me during my internship. I think that the way we are integrated is very important, the time we are given for questions and clarifications. As far as I’m concerned, my mentor’s support and our communication made the learning and integration processes easier for me.” – Alexandra Pirvulescu

“As far as I’m concerned, the internship period came pretty close to perfection. I came here with the desire both to learn a job and to see how it’s like to work for a major company. I can honestly say I successfully completed both objectives. I was welcomed in the team, I was asked to work hard, I was helped whenever I didn’t know something. The 3 months I spent here did not feel as if I was an intern, but rather as if I was a member of our team. I gained valuable technical skills, and besides this, I found out how it feels like to work in a team and have true responsibilities, in major projects. Congratulations!” – Radu Satnoianu

“There is absolutely nothing which needs to be improved.  This was my first experience on the labour market and it proved much more interesting than the faculty, which I can’t say I enjoyed too much (until I became an intern :)  )” – Adrian Iulian Vultur

“As far as the whole company crew is concerned, I think that most people I came in contact with are friendly and open-minded. It was a pleasure for me to work in the project team, I fitted in really quickly, I collaborated really well and most importantly, I learned a lot.” – Nicoleta Melania Stanca

“The professional working environment, the team’s openness towards the interns and the kindness of my co-workers offered me a new perspective on the environment in which I want to develop myself, both professionally and personally.” I also gained teamwork experience, as well as experience in searching for information independently in order to solve the tasks assigned to me.” – Alexandra Gabriela Cristea
