Graduation:  We prefer this to be a regular 6-month internship. A graduation assignment is possible, but only if it can be clearly connected to our innovation projects and leaves enough time to contribute broadly to other team activities. How we work together We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
