Your Role
I was seeking something intellectually stimulating; something exciting where I would feel motivated; ideally something fun. I also applied to several other technology companies. However, before I had heard a word from the others, I had already been interviewed and offered a place at Metaswitch Networks. One of the first things that struck me was that I was never left struggling, and I had plenty of support from my mentor and manager. There were lots of interns living in the company houses in Enfield, and we have had barbecues, cinema trips, pokers nights, plus much more! "

Intern Student
We offer internships to
- Pre-University students (those who have just completed A levels)
- Undergraduates in all years and all disciplines who are looking for summer work
- Industrial Placement Students.
Internships are a great way for you to spend a summer, or even up to a year, in a flexible working
environment. Students play an important part in our success and make a real and significant contribution
to our projects, and we hope they will return as permanent employees.
Don't think you'll be making tea all day! From day one, you'll work on complex and challenging
programming assignments within a team of creative and hard-working professionals. Just as with our new
graduate or postgraduate starters, you will be assigned a mentor and a manager, who will give you a high
level of support and expert guidance throughout your entire time with us.
Throughout your placement, you will have regular status meetings with your manager who will work
with you to ensure you have the skills and tools required to do a great job. You will receive regular
feedback on your performance including a comprehensive review before you leave. If you do well, we will
offer you sponsorship during your next year at university.
