John Collison, Entrepreneur, co-founder of Stripe:

”Software engineering is a wonderful career. Immersive Software Engineering gets students writing code in the real world as quickly as possible, so they’re ready to join today’s leading companies or start Ireland’s next breakout startup.”

——

Mike Morrissey, Catalyst Director, Analog Devices:

“We gave them something that we thought would take them three months and they finished in three weeks. That was the incredible nature of what they were able to achieve because of the talent, because of the training they got and because of the immersement in industry”

——

Professor Geraldine Boylan, Director of the Irish Centre Maternal & Child Health Research, University College Cork:

“Our ISE student was operating at level that we would expect to see from a graduate, and he had only completed his first year.”

“We certainly hope to have a lot more students in the future. It has been great for us, and refreshing to see a very positive, can-do attitude from students, but that’s also coupled with really excellent hands-on experience in software engineering, which we really needed.”

“Would I recommend other companies to take on ISE students? 100%. And I wouldn’t shield them from very challenging work because they are so able to take on the challenging stuff.”

“If you take the time to tell them about what your challenges are and give them the domain knowledge and embed them with the experts, they will do the work that you need at a very high level.”

—— 

Oisín Hurley, Senior Engineering Manager, Intercom:

“We take ISE students because we see the attitude. They embrace the culture, they embrace the environment. We know that they are great technologists, but it’s actually the ability and the trajectory that has completely changed the perception of interns at Intercom.”

“Intercom loves this programme because we don’t want to miss out on the next Patrick Collison or the next Des Traynor, so we are really excited and are embracing the whole ISE programme and the ethos behind it.”

“I’m getting messages from managers saying when is the next batch coming?”

“if you are searching for the next generation of technology leaders and you have not engaged with Immersive Software Engineering, you’ve taken a wrong turn”

——

Thomas Minogue, Design and Engineering, ADI Catalyst: 

“It has been fantastic. Even in Residency 1 they have the skills of a graduate, so in terms of knowledge there is no fear.”

“We’ve noticed that ISE students have really high domain knowledge in software skills that greatly apply to the work that we’re doing here in mobile robotics and industrial automation.”

——

Lorraine Curham, NDRC Head of Operations, Dogpatch Labs:

“The whole set-up has been second to none. The programme team communication was fantastic and the students organisation and ability to deliver is actually far superior to where they should be right now.”

“ISE students have been great because they were able to prove things which directly impacted business strategy decisions for the next 12 months, which would have otherwise taken a much longer period of time for us.”

 ——

James Walsh, Senior Software Development Manager – MLL Platforms at Johnson & Johnson Technology Services:

“Some of our ISE students have worked on projects that are incredibly critical for us here in J&J and they have delivered beyond all expectations.”

——

Marc Andressen, Inventor of the web browser: 

“This is exactly what I wanted when I was in college.”

 ——

Mike Krieger, Co-founder of Instagram:

“This is a phenomenal way to learn the skills you need to build the next Instagram.”

——

Carlo Bergonzini, Software Development Manager at Amazon Web Services: 

“ISE students were exceeding expectations for their roles. They were able to deliver results straight away from day one.”
