Intern Reviews
- “The culture here is wonderful, everyone is very supportive, and management wants their employees to have a happy, safe work environment. Work/life balance is also great. I am able to set my own hours, and school always comes first in the eyes of my managers.”
- “My boss is extremely cognizant of work/life balance and often makes sure each person is not overcommitting themselves.”
- “We're allowed to work up to 25 hours a week during the school year and up to 40 hours a week during breaks. We have a lot of flexibility in scheduling ourselves, there are just a handful of mandatory meetings/events. Plenty of freedom to take breaks to focus on school if we need to (e.g., lots of interns take finals week off to focus on exams). We're allowed to work remotely 50% of the time as well. There's a lot of space to learn and improve with support from experienced developers that we work alongside. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.”
- “Having multiple work assignments grants flexibility in what I work on. Macro-management approach. Work-life balance is encouraged. Not overloaded with work as an intern but given stretch projects and my choice of learning to fill spare time.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Great interactions before and after the interview. The hiring process did take over a month.”
- “The interviewing process was very dynamic and very fluid. I didn't feel stressed at all and was relieved to know that they didn't want to know just about my technical skills, but they also wanted to know more about me as a person.”
- “The interviewers are awesome and made it a point to connect on a personal level when appropriate. They kept me in the loop in a timely manner and answered all my questions after I received the offer.”
- “There was only one interview that was virtual. The interviewers asked typical interview questions, with some requiring a more thoughtful response than others. Both interviewers were extremely helpful in answering any questions I had about the internship and the benefits offered to interns through the internship program.”
