Very nice internship

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

It was a complete internship. You were every engaged. There was a lot of activities depending on the holidays. So, you not only work. We had charity events. I was a volunteer a few times to help kids, plant trees.

Cons

It usually took me an hour to go to work everyday using public transport. You will be fine if you had a car. It was very unconvenient in summer because of the constructions and winter because of the snow.

fun technology but risky and lots of hours

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The technical part of the job can be very enjoyable. The medical technology is fun to work on. Permissive vacation is great for new hires (you get as much vacation as your manager let's you have...)

Cons

Permissive vacation is great for new employees, but it means those that have been there many years are at the mercy of their managers to get the vacation they earned through years of service. Company claims to have a technical career path, but it is very difficult to make it to the upper levels of that path, and I have seen many people who did make it that level subsequently laid off, so it is not a very safe or long term career path. Frequent layoffs at all levels. It is sometimes possible to find another internal job after a layoff, especially for younger employees at lower levels.
