Wix Enter
FAQ
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
1.
Is this an internship or a student job?
This is a paid student job, with a very unique acceleration training before you start working :) This means that you’ll be very quickly placed in one of our development teams and start working on real Wix engineering projects, reaching millions of people. You’ll do all that at a super high scale and continuously push your code to production.
2.
Who can apply?
If you’re a Computer Science or Software Engineering student with at least one more year of studies, you’re more than welcome to apply to our program. It doesn’t matter to us where you study. We care about your coding skills and your ability to learn fast and independently.
3.
Do I need to pay to participate?
Not a penny. Once you’re accepted to the program, you’re officially on a Wix Student role. The first months of training are paid time for you.
4.
What’s the last date to apply?
We’re closing applications for the program on May 18, 2023.
5.
When does the program start?
The first class of the program is set to start on July 23, 2023
6.
What happens if I have an exam on certain days?
If some of the scheduled days coincide with your exams, we understand the need for flexibility. We will make every effort to accommodate your situation as much as possible.
7.
How long is the Wix Enter program?
This is a 8 weeks learning program for web fundamentals, and continues with hands-on training within our product development teams. Then, you'll continue in a student position at Wix until you complete your studies.
8.
When and where will the Wix Enter course take place?
2023 Wix Enter will be the first held at the new Wix campus in Glilot, three times a week on pre-set fixed days.
9.
What will I learn?
In the first few weeks we'll cover various topics in Frontend, Backend or Mobile fundamentals, according to your assigned guild. After that, you'll be mentored by our development teams, to get a deeper dive into the Wix Engineering infrastructure and development tools, processes, products, and components.
10.
I applied for a student position in the past and was rejected, can I try again?
If you are a Computer Science or Software Engineering student with more than a year of studying left you can go ahead and apply again. That said - if you were in a process very recently and did not pass, then this might be too soon to show progress in your coding skills.
11.
When will I get answers?
You’ll know if you passed the technical exam within two weeks. We'll give the final answers for the entire process (after technical and HR interviews) by July 2nd 2023.
12.
What happens after I graduate?
Same as with all our students, you may move to a full-time position. We’ll evaluate your progress and if it works for both sides, you will continue working with your amazing team.
13.
Is there anything I can do to improve my chances of getting in?
It's important to answer all the questions in the screening process thoroughly, as this is an opportunity for you to introduce yourself beyond what's on your CV. Once you've passed this stage, carefully review the timeline and make sure to attend the opening event. Additionally, pay attention to any instructions provided on how to prepare for the exam, which will be sent to you along with the invitation to the opening event.
14.
I see other student positions at Wix. What’s the difference between them and the program?
The main difference is that Wix Enter is a dedicated training program that will take place during July-September 23, followed by on-the-job training at our product development teams. In other student positions, you can start whenever the job opening is available — and you’ll work directly with the product development team. We recommend that you choose which of these works best for you (no need to apply for both).
15.
What are the recruiting steps? Do I need to complete a task?
After the initial application screening, we'll invite you to an online event, and to save a spot in our half-day f2f technical exam. The good news is that your score sheet is not crucial, and you can still get in with a great exam. Then, we'll invite you to technical and HR interviews.
