Internship considerations
During this internship, an inside knowledge of the edgeBOX was gained. It’s was a valuable experience for me as
a student to work in a real world team’s project with its time, money and quality constrains.
At a technical level, new technologies were learned, my networking knowledge has increase since it was something
in which I didn’t had great interest during my degree and that was a gap in my formation as a computer engineer.
I learned a great deal about organization of software projects, how to contribute, as a member of a team, to a big
project (10 members in the engineering team and 10 members in supporting areas) when there are multiple goals
and short amount of time and resources.
I’ve also gained life experience that, for sure, is going to be helpful in the rest of my professional life by moving to
a different city, meeting different people from different nationalities and by working in one of the most dynamic
and innovative Portuguese companies.
I feel that I’ve archived my objectives and that it was a very good choice to be an intern at Critical Software. In
my opinion and from the feedback I’ve received, Critical’s managers were also very happy with my performance.
I was evaluated according to the standards of the company having a final classification of superior (4,2 out of
5), a excellent classification considering the exigence of the evaluation. I was invited to keep working at Critical
Software, a propose that I’m going to ponder and decide after the deliver and presentation of this report.
