Software Engineering Internship
Software Engineering Internship
The internship was 8 weeks long: 1 week of classes about markets, 1 week of tech training, and 6 weeks of working on an individual project.
Each intern was assigned to a team of full-time developers and got an individual project tackling an actual problem to work on for 6 weeks.
Everyone was very open to being asked questions and sharing their knowledge, so it was possible to learn a lot, not only in terms of technical skills but also about markets.
An additional nice thing about it was that all interns lived together in provided accommodation, near the centre of Amsterdam.
Living in the Netherlands made it a bit harder to meet with friends from university who stayed in the UK during the summer.
