motivating environment, flexible working hours

small company, need to build things from scratch

As an intern, it was so exciting to see all this creativity in an environment where the product and business goals are constantly updating. Everyone is exceptional at their job so of course it was difficult to keep up, but it was made manageable by the responsive and supportive community. They made me feel like my work was making an impact, which motivated me even more every day. Also, the bond formed in the department I was in was based off of trust, which made us so strong and productive. That also contributed to my personal work endeavors. My internship also extended into social media work— managing some accounts with the other interns. The experience I gained here is incomparable elsewhere. My excel skills, project management skills, blog writing skills (and more) have substantially improved. Although everyone in the company knows how to work, they also know how to have fun…every moment of every day. There is so much laughter and fun that goes on, it made me look forward to each work day. Perks of my internship: - free snacks all day - this company knows good snacks - guidance by a group of highly intelligent individuals - genuine fun each day - paid lunch and transportation

The internship is unpaid which is definitely difficult to deal with sometimes. Some internal processes are very manual which takes away a bit of energy from actual things that need to get done— especially for business ops. But to an extent, this is understandable since it’s a start-up and not technologically perfect. There is a high staff turnover — my manager actually left unexpectedly leaving me confused. But as the community is so supportive, through a collaborative effort we were able to proceed with our everyday tasks.
