11. Got questions about INKOMPASS? We're here to answer them all
Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS Paid Internship Program offers a 2-cycle approach because it is
an experiential job interview, giving you a better chance to showcase your
skills and abilities and giving us a better chance to get to know you.
Across the two cycles, you will work on projects that will allow you to
discover our business challenges, opportunities, processes and systems.
The 1st cycle will give you the opportunity to discover several aspects of our
company (i.e. operations, people and culture) through projects that allow you
to interact with people from different areas.
The 2nd cycle will give you the opportunity to experience a deep dive into a
specific department or functional area.

12. What happens if I don’t want to commit myself to participate in
the 2nd cycle?
We strive to ensure you have a great 1st cycle experience so that you
eagerly look forward to get selected for the 2nd cycle.
However, in case you do not want to continue, there is no obligation for
you to do so.

13. What happens between the 2 cycles of internship?
Staying in touch with you throughout your internship journey is very
important to us. You will hear from us between the 2 cycles of your
internship, through:
1. An exclusive INKOMPASS mobile app, which will allow you to keep in
touch with the global INKOMPASS community;
2. Invitations to company activities and events;
3. Communication from your COACH and BUDDY.

expenses that may arise in order for you to be present and available in the
internship country for the duration of each cycle. You must have a valid visa to

deliverables, based on which you will be assessed. We believe that both
WHAT you achieve / deliver and HOW you do so is important. This is why
you will also be assessed on the behaviors you display which should be
aligned with our company’s work ethics.
Throughout the experience you will receive feedback and guidance so that
you understand what is expected of you. The final assessment will take
place at the end of each internship cycle.
