Father started as Software Engineer in the bol.com security department and son started as... Software Engineer in the security department, doing his final intern assignment.We have got many examples of father and son working relationships, One of the most famous at the moment are Max and Jos Verstappen. And we know more in the F1 (Hamilton in the past, Stroll). And of course, we know about company’s set up by one and succeeded by the other. So, really interesting to find out how that works in IT.This story gave us a lot of hooks to discuss different aspects of our Engineering Culture and Way of Working. Besides the fact that we had a very proud father in the show, he also explained how he is impressed by the speed of this young generation. It will give insights into the internship position and the role of the intern. Is an intern an employee? What type of employee? At least we discuss what it means to onboard for an intern assignment and the steep learning curve to overcome in our environment.He will always be my child, but he is not a kid anymore - Chris PoldermanIt will trigger you to think about your own relationship with your kid and/or father/parents.
