Pros

It was a great learning experience, and my mentor was very supportive. I had other students from my class, which made the experience smooth. I learned to use software that I had never been exposed to as a student and gained the opportunity to apply the skills I was learning in university.

Cons

I don't have any cons to mention at the moment.

Pros

HR staff is very friendly.

Cons

There is an active culture of toxicity, disrespect, neglect, and racial harassment. The organization is extremely disorganized and actively contradicts best practices in the industry. The organization had zero interest in professional development. It seems to be held together by scotch tape. "We can't retain staff" was a common refrain; it's no wonder why. Despite the admirable mission, avoid this organization at all costs.
