Pros

There are no benefits to this ‘internship’

Cons

You are essentially paying £400 for your own ‘internship’. The interview is basically asking if you can fundraise the money. They want you to fundraise £400 to give to the company. I asked them what it was for and it was to pay for their permanent staff and a lot of other cryptic stuff. I don’t think that makes sense at all. The ask you to beg your family and friends for the money. It is like a pyramid scheme. Its not worth your time at all

Pros

Interviewed with a woman who was super nice and polite! Mostly behavioral questions.

Cons

The internship itself had very repetitive tasks and didn't provide a lot of learning.
