Pros

As a Graphic Design student with minimal experience, I was exposed to what we will be expected in my career in the next few years. I have been extremely fortunate to work with a small team who all offer their best to help improve struggling points and encourage feedback in moving forward. - Open staff to be able to join in collaborative efforts - Able to learn from multiple perspectives and utilize each team member's key roles - Realistic and reasonable short-term and long-term goals - Working with young creatives who are interested in their craft - Experience

Cons

- Long distance = not working in office - Long distance = delay in response time - Work is fast-paced (no problem personally) but can't be for everyone

Pros

Code Naturally supplies an excellent place to learn for both the students and the teachers. Though I am a mentor at Code Naturally, I find myself constantly learning just as much as I am teaching. Everyone around me has this hunger to learn more which drives me and inspires me to continue programming more than any computer science class I have ever taken. Everyone is extremely clear and open about all topics of discussion, which makes it easy to know exactly where the company stands and where everything stands within it.

Cons

Working with kids so frequently essentially dooms you to getting sick once or twice. Always wash your hands as frequently as possible, Chrome Books can get dirty.

Pros

Easy Interview, no technical coding skills needs to be proven.

Cons

As an unpaid intern in the state of California, I received no formal training on my unpaid internship position and had no experience working with the laptops and other applications that the company was using. I was registered as a volunteer through the school district I was doing my unpaid internship in. In the interview, it was discussed that I would teach children computer concepts and math concepts, but within a month with the company, my main duty was to take the kids outside for break / recess and pass out snacks. There was not one time I taught the class. I was mainly used as an asset, but not an intern. I found out later down the road through they company's video that I replaced an employee during my unpaid internship. At the end, I did not learn anything that I could not learn in a classroom as the programming language utilized is a fairly easy language to learn, and is a very common language taught at many universities. This company does have a great concept in mind of teaching children how to code, but the company's website is a bit misleading as it appears as a non-profit educational tool. They did not discuss with me that this was a huge for-profit. The CEO does not have seem to have formal computer science or computer engineering background, so if you do ask any questions or bring up any issues with the applications they are using (which is also not a fully developed app as many kids were frustrated when their code disappeared), don't expect any help.
