Pros

Majority of the team members are great to work with but senior management is terrible, no diversity and treat you as a number - do not care about your progression.

Cons

They suck you in with promises and everything you want to hear, then leave you to not know what you are doing and give you no support. They believe if you have a problem you can't solve then you are the problem and some of the leadership team should not even have made it to management - do not know how to manage or communicate with people. Terrible place to work! Do not believe the reviews on glassdoor - they ask current employees to write them and reward for good reviews. You will regret working here!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time at Virtual Internships. We're sorry you didn't have a great experience during your time here. Related to your comments on rewarding good reviews, as one of our operating principles is transparency, we always appreciate open and constructive feedback from anyone because that is what moves us further. We don't reward anyone for leaving a positive review on Glassdoor and leave the choice if and what to share up to each individual. Our culture is built on meritocracy, and opportunities are given based on achievements and results. That is why we are constantly adjusting our process including career progression, performance enablement and the performance improvement plan process and will continue in 2023. Regarding diversity, given our mission to make internships accessible to anyone in the world, diversity and inclusion are important topics for us internally as well. Therefore we aim to have people coming from different backgrounds and with different experiences in all teams and on all levels of the company including the leadership team. To mention a few examples, we have employees across 25+ countries worldwide, and 75% of the team is female. People are one of our company's most important pillars, and we regularly conduct an employee engagement survey. The recent one had an e-NPS of 55, which is generally rated as “excellent", with "Friendly, talented, and diverse colleagues" and "Working Atmosphere - collaborative and supportive” noted as areas where we excel. At the same time, we learn as we go, so we would be happy to have a chat with you to discuss your feedback further and in more detail. Please reach out to people@virtualinternships.com anytime, and our People Ops team will gladly have a call with you. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career. Senior Leadership Team
