Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS paid international internship 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 real business 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.

department or functional area.
