In your experience, what separates a ‘good’ analyst/engineer/function intern from a ‘remarkable’ one at Nokia?

    Hi Darshan, Thanks for your question.

    As a manager, I would say:

    A good intern delivers assigned tasks reliably, learns the required tools, and asks for help when needed. They meet expectations and contribute positively to the team.

    A remarkable intern goes further. They take ownership of their work, seek to understand the underlying reasons behind tasks, and consider how their contribution fits into the bigger picture—whether that’s the system, the customer, or the business impact. They ask thoughtful questions, proactively look for ways to improve things, communicate clearly, and adapt quickly to feedback.

    At Nokia, this mindset—combining technical skills with curiosity, accountability, and collaboration—is what truly sets an intern apart and leaves a lasting impression on the team.
