have to say about the program

Wilson Pu

"This rare international experience I had at Poatek has already began to open doors in my current role. When I started my job as a Program Manager for Microsoft on October 2021, I was given the opportunity to own the inventory management of Azure cloud hardware in our Brazil regions. Overall, I think Poatek will continue stand out as a highlight in my previous experiences in both my eyes and others’ eyes."

Wilson is now a Program Manager at Microsoft

Daniel Ramirez

“I can see that it is very clear how Poatek and its team are amazing! Everyone is extremely friendly and is always available to help others not just to achieve the best results for the clients, but also to develop its own knowledge”.

Daniel is now a Software Engineer at Google

Felipe Couto

I loved living in Porto Alegre. I did not expect the city to be that big and breathe innovation on each block, with so many startups and amazing people. Poatek taught me a lot for my career. I learned how to collaborate with teams and how to work in a fast-paced environment, skills that would prove essential moving further.

Felipe is now a Software Engineer Intern at Meta
