At Datastreams we always got some students helping around the office. We already discussed the reasons we love to work with these students in our blog ‘5 reasons we love working with students’. However, every story has two sides, so let’s look at the reasons students love working with us (according to two of our current student employees).
1. Our students work on varied projects with real data
Students have told us that one of the best parts of working with us is the opportunity to work with real data. Students working with us get the opportunity to work on a variety of projects for real clients. This doesn’t only allow students to experience the trials and tribulations that can come with working with real data, but also to see their projects implemented by companies: “Many of the projects I’ve worked on are still being used.” One of our employees told us. “It felt good to work on real, useful projects in addition to studying.”
2. Our office is a great learning environment
Learning about data science and IT at school is very valuable, but our students often tell us that being immersed in our data-driven environment is a fantastic learning experience. Data is the lifeblood of our company; it is our core business and ingrained in everything we do. Maybe it is because of this that students tell us that they learn a lot by listening to our data-professionals and working on innovative projects. Got a question about data science? Great chance someone in our office knows the answer.
3. We offer flexible working hours
From our experience with students, we know that sometimes they have a lot of time to work and sometimes it’s exam week and they are completely swamped. We emphasize. In fact, many of us still vividly remember it. That’s why we offer our students flexible working hours and the possibility to work from home.
4. Our office is never boring
Our office is full of young, enthusiastic, friendly people who are as happy to talk about data science as they are to share a beer or play foosball. That’s why it is never boring in our building.
