Every year, we welcome interns from various schools and in different roles, so they can grow and learn from our expertise.
Life at Dropsolid is described in 6 words: trust, connection, helping, challenges, growing and enjoying. These core values create the good company culture within our company.
The values from an intern's point of view:
From the moment an intern starts their internship, a lot of trust is placed in them. After their onboarding, they can immediately take part in big projects and add their value to them. At our company, an intern is considered a full employee.
Our interns immediately become a new colleague and are not seen as ‘the intern’. This way, we really try to connect with each other. We create a close-knit team by also inviting the interns to our team-building events, informal chats, … Our company finds it important that everyone feels at ease.
Help is something we offer everyone. Everyone can ask each other anything, because you learn from each other. The good atmosphere in our company also makes everyone, including the interns, feel free to ask questions. After all, the best results come from teamwork.
Dropsolid makes sure everyone is challenged in their projects, so they grow professionally and personally. The interns also get great opportunities to learn a lot and grow in different areas. Stepping out of your comfort zone often leads to the best results.
Dropsolid values the growth process of every individual. We want to develop talent. With their various tasks, projects, … the interns' mentors make sure their interns can grow in different areas. This also gives the intern a better idea of which direction or specialisation they eventually want to take.
Fun comes first in our company. A good atmosphere makes for happy employees, and happy employees make for good results. Our interns can also enjoy our team-building events, lunch moments, informal small talk, …
Dropsolid places great value on sharing knowledge. That means sharing our knowledge with clients, but also with our interns. Every year, we welcome interns from various schools and in different roles, so they can grow and learn from our expertise.
Interns learn a lot from us, but we also learn a lot from interns!
My internship at Dropsolid is fun and varied. Although you sometimes work on the same assignment for a few weeks, no two assignments are the same. I've already made wireframes, written documentation, looked up information for presentations, given presentations and followed client demos. No two weeks are the same, which makes the work varied and interesting. During my internship, I've learned a lot on a personal level, such as handling feedback better. As a functional analyst, you are the link between the client and the developers. The client gives feedback, which may mean you have to make changes to your wireframes.
I've also grown in giving presentations to colleagues. I worked on a project in which I had to inform colleagues about my part. At first this is scary, but you learn a lot from it. Over the past few months, I've also been able to work on many aspects of being a functional analyst. I attended client meetings, made wireframes and prototypes, and wrote a full functional analysis. These assignments were interesting because I'm now working for real clients instead of school projects. As a functional analyst intern, you work out wireframes, present them to the client, receive feedback and process it. This was a valuable experience. I also attended a client demo and went to Brussels to present the progress of the project to the client.
Dropsolid, a DXP company, caught my interest because I find websites and everything around them fascinating. I wanted to know more about how a company in this sector works. I would definitely recommend the company to other interns, because you're not expected to know everything already. You're allowed to make mistakes and ask questions. The colleagues are very helpful, which makes it easier to ask questions. A big advantage for me is the possibility to choose your own hours and work from home. On top of that, the atmosphere is excellent. The company isn't huge, which means everyone knows each other. Happy hours are organised and everyone has lunch together. During the happy hours and lunch breaks, you also get to know your colleagues better.
I really enjoy my internship at Dropsolid, for several reasons. First of all, I get assigned tasks that a permanent employee would also get, so I really feel part of the team. On top of that, there's a pleasant atmosphere in the company, which only makes working more enjoyable.
My technical knowledge has grown considerably, which is a valuable addition to my broad education. As an intern at Dropsolid, I have the privilege of working with all team members in the company. I have the freedom to choose the tasks that suit me best. I also take part in client meetings and work on projects for them, just like a permanent employee would. I've grown on a personal level too. Gaining experience within a company gives me a deeper insight into how business works and how I can make the best use of my skills.
My choice of Dropsolid as an internship company was well thought out. First of all, I liked that it's a mid-sized company in the technology sector. On top of that, the products they develop are particularly interesting to me, so it seemed like a perfect match. Would I recommend Dropsolid to others? Definitely. As an intern, you're treated as a full member of the team and you get the chance to gain valuable experience. The atmosphere in the company is also something I'd like to highlight. It's fun and friendly, which contributes to a pleasant work environment where I feel at ease.
An internship at Dropsolid is a great experience. Working with a team full of knowledge and experience gives you the chance to learn many new skills. I work full-time with tools such as Linux, Graylog, Ansible, Wazuh and Jamf, and support the internal IT team with a wide range of tasks, from printer resets to setting up server monitoring. I've also learned a lot about communication, which used to be a challenge for me.
Dropsolid is a young company with a lot of experience, and it's only 10 minutes from my student room in Ghent. I would definitely recommend Dropsolid for an internship or a job. Every day we have lunch together, so I get to know my colleagues better, and lots of fun, optional events are organised.
I'm very happy with my internship at Dropsolid. The company immediately stood out for its professional image and the wide range of activities it carries out. For a student majoring in marketing technology, Dropsolid, as a Digital Experience Company, is the ideal place for an internship.
The tasks during the internship are varied and include standard marketing activities such as creating content, drawing up social media plans for vacancies and developing marketing strategies for Dropsolid's consultancy services. The internship also offers the opportunity to be involved in technical aspects, such as working with Drupal, implementing SEO strategies for better indexing by Google, and setting up targeted LinkedIn ads.
The work environment at Dropsolid is very pleasant and the colleagues are particularly nice to work with. So I highly recommend an internship at Dropsolid.
My internship at Dropsolid is very educational. All the different aspects of sales come up, and as an intern you're involved in a lot of things. Thanks to that, I've already learned a lot, from responding to client needs and the tender procedure to what the market of a digital experience company looks like and how Dropsolid positions itself in it.
I get to attend client and internal meetings, make cold calls, schedule meetings, work out the positioning, build the tender library, and so on. My range of tasks is very diverse. Thanks to all these opportunities and learning moments, I've also grown personally. I've become more confident in my work, because I can complete assignments successfully.
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. You get plenty of opportunities to grow and work independently, while still getting the support you need. It's also clear that they have experience with interns. The atmosphere in the company is excellent. The team is young and enthusiastic, and there's always a positive vibe. We laugh a lot, which contributes to good collaboration and a close-knit team.
I really enjoy my internship at Dropsolid, because the knowledge I gained at HoGent is actually used in practice. The most important skills I've improved here are my communication skills, because what they say is true: the most important skills for IT people are soft skills. My IT skills have of course improved as well.
I was really able to dive into tools such as Ansible to configure servers automatically. As a DevOps intern, I mainly take on tasks for Internal IT and the DXP team. So my tasks are very diverse. On the one hand, we help for example with writing documentation for Secure Printing, and on the other hand we configure application stacks in Google Cloud. This variety in tasks makes for a nice change.
I chose Dropsolid because I immediately noticed a very family-like atmosphere. Everyone knows everyone. On my first day, I already met the co-CEO. I had also always been interested in DevOps, so Dropsolid was the ideal place to experience it in practice.
