From the moment I began my internship at Swisscom, I knew it was the perfect fit. The mentors were exceptional, always present to guide me throughout my journey. Their unwavering support was unlike anything I had experienced before, helping me learn and gain independence while making improvements. Alongside fellow interns, we formed solid bonds, creating a community of growth and collaboration. After the internship, joining the team and being involved in significant projects was truly rewarding as it offered me opportunities to grow. I'm grateful for this opportunity and feel fortunate to be part of such an enriching and dynamic environment

Coming from a background in transport logistics, my internship at Swisscom was an incredible experience that truly jump-started my career in IT. From day one, I had the opportunity to work on a real commercial project alongside a talented Agile team, which allowed me to quickly gain hands-on experience with modern DevOps practices and tools. I was especially thrilled to receive a full-time offer where I continue to grow professionally and deepen my technical expertise. The supportive environment, mentorship, and collaborative culture made learning both exciting and rewarding - it’s been an amazing journey of continuous growth and development

I used to work in managerial and administrative positions but always felt incredibly invested in the ever-evolving tech world. I now work with software development, as well as cloud and networking technologies – incredibly exciting and never boring. I’m utterly fortunate to have my position at Swisscom; everything from company culture, team spirit, and work-life balance is so well thought of! There’s not a day I’m not learning something new within my field alongside my awesome colleagues
Oleksandr
Joining Swisscom as an intern was a turning point for me. From day one, I was welcomed into a collaborative and supportive environment where I could learn by doing. I had the opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers, contribute to real projects, and deepen my understanding of DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure, and modern development workflows. The experience helped me grow not only technically, but also professionally, as I learned how to communicate effectively and work as part of a team. I’m excited that my journey didn’t end with the internship. Today, I continue my path at Swisscom as a DevOps Engineer, where I contribute to building reliable systems and improving processes. I’m grateful for the trust and opportunities I’ve been given, and I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and take on new challenges.
Aleksejs
If I would have to describe, how I ended up at Swisscom, I would say it was unbelievably fast. Upon graduation from university, I was on a job hunt and applied for the internship on Swisscom DevOps Center Riga website. Whole recruitment process took only 4 days and I had been provided with an offer to start as Intern in the upcoming intake. Afterwards, I completed the internship, met a lot of new people, landed a role as a Software Developer, and continue to learn and improve with opportunities that my team and Swisscom provide. I am feeling lucky being a part of Swisscom!
