Connect
Our interns immediately become new colleagues and are not seen as 'just interns.' This way, we truly connect with each other. We create a close-knit team by inviting interns to our team-building events, informal chats, and more. Our company finds it important that everyone feels comfortable.

Grow
Dropsolid values the growth process of each individual. We aim to develop talent. The mentors of the interns ensure that their interns can grow in various areas through diverse tasks, projects, and more. This also gives the intern a better understanding of which direction or specialization they ultimately want to pursue.
Personal stories from some interns
Lize Verhaeven - Team Swift
My internship at Dropsolid has been enjoyable and varied. While sometimes working on the same task for a few weeks, no two assignments are alike. I've created wireframes, written documentation, researched information for presentations, given presentations, and attended client demos. Each week brings something new, making the work diverse and interesting. During my internship, I've learned a lot personally, such as handling feedback better. As a functional analyst, you're the link between the client and the developers. Clients provide feedback, which may require adjustments to your wireframes. I've also grown in presenting to colleagues. I worked on a project where I had to inform colleagues about my part. Initially daunting, but a valuable learning experience. Over the past few months, I've worked on various aspects of a functional analyst's role. I've attended client meetings, created wireframes and prototypes, and written a complete functional analysis. These tasks were engaging because I'm now working for real clients instead of school projects. As a functional analyst intern, you develop wireframes, present them to the client, receive feedback, and refine them. It's been a valuable experience. I also attended a client demo and went to Brussels to present the project's progress to the client.
Dropsolid, a DXP company, sparked my interest because I find websites and everything related to them fascinating. I wanted to learn more about how a company in this sector operates. I would definitely recommend the company to other interns because you're not expected to know everything. You're allowed to make mistakes and ask questions. The colleagues are very helpful, which makes it easier to ask questions. A significant advantage for me is the ability to choose my own hours and work from home. Additionally, the atmosphere is excellent. The company isn't super large, so everyone knows each other. Happy hours are organized, and everyone lunches together. During happy hours and lunch breaks, you also get to know your colleagues better.
Seph Arnaert - Team Experience Cloud
An internship at Dropsolid is an amazing experience. Collaborating with a team full of knowledge and experience provides the opportunity to learn many new skills. I work full-time with tools like Linux, Graylog, Ansible, Wazuh, and Jamf, supporting the internal IT team with various tasks, from printer resets to setting up server monitoring. Additionally, I've learned a lot about communication, which was previously a challenge for me.
Dropsolid is a young company with a lot of experience and is conveniently located just 10 minutes from my student accommodation in Ghent. I would definitely recommend Dropsolid for an internship or job. We have lunch together every afternoon, which allows me to get to know my colleagues better, and there are many fun, optional events organized.
Steffie Gabriëls - Team Sales
My internship at Dropsolid is highly educational. All different aspects of sales are covered, and as an intern, you are involved in many matters. As a result, I have already learned a lot, from meeting customer needs and the tender process to understanding the digital experience company market and how Dropsolid positions itself within it. I attend customer and internal meetings, make cold calls, schedule meetings, work on positioning, compile the tender library, and more. My job scope is very diverse. Thanks to all these opportunities and learning moments, I have also grown personally. I have become more confident in my work because I can successfully complete tasks.
Dropsolid appealed to me as an internship company because of its innovative character and growth potential. It's a company that offers many opportunities. I would definitely recommend this company to others. Here, you have a lot of opportunities to grow and work independently while still receiving the necessary support. Moreover, it's clear that they have experience with interns. The atmosphere within the company is excellent. The team is young and enthusiastic, and there is always a positive vibe. We share many laughs, which contributes to good collaboration and a close-knit team.
