Pros

I flew in from Ireland to work as an intern at this company during the summer of 2014. It was to say the least a learning experience. I used a lot of skills, such as marketing, sales, and designing, to help the company build its training business.

Cons

I didn't learn as much as I hoped to learn. I was hoping to learn more about financial analysis, but the firm mainly focuses on marketing for technology venders and helping banks with marketing too. Its more of a PR and marketing firm, but it was okay

Pros

As an intern, I learned a lot about how to collect data off the internet from annual reports, news articles and press releases for industry reports. I also got to see a lot of interesting people during meetings. There were weekly luncheon that were provided by the managing directors, and we were able to see Hong Kong's city from different angles by going to see different banks and companies. One interesting time is I got to go to Shenzhen to meet some interesting people, and wrote a short briefing on the clients needs and how we can provide them with unique services

Cons

The office was a little small and tight, and there wasn't coffee or tea in the office. Also the lift in the building was a bit strange. I also thought that some of the interns worked quite hard. For an updated internship it was indeed interesting and a lot of different work

Pros

Learned a lot about internet research and events. Filled with young people like the owners, and it looks like they are treated pretty seriously amongst other people in the industry. The view from the office is nice, and its in Kawloon area by the subway in Kwun Tong.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure from the owners on the employees to get leads and make sales, but that is very normal in startups and small companies from what I have seen. There should be more bonding activities for employees
