Intern Reviews
- "Very friendly, laid back but hardworking company culture. Everyone shows respect and care for one another but communication could improve. Work/life balance is dependent upon the manager you are assigned and how much work there is to be done/accomplished."
- "The culture was very flexible and my management was willing to work with me with anything that came up in my schedule. We worked hard during the week but the summer hours they give us on Friday are really great for getting additional errands done in my personal life. Overall, a good work/life balance."
- "I think the company culture was excellent. There are so many great people at Burlington that are extremely kind and very helpful and willing to assist the interns with whatever they need. Questions were always encouraged to emphasize the importance of a learning environment for the interns. The hours we worked were fine and we had a good work/life balance, especially on Fridays where we were allowed to finish the day at 1:00 pm."
- "We could only work a 40 hour work week, and while we were completing our program Burlington was doing summer hours, so we got out of work on Fridays at 1:00 pm. The work/life balance has been very flexible."
Getting Hired Here
- "I had an initial interview with a campus recruiter where I got to learn a little bit more about the internship role I was applying for. After that, I had 4 rounds of interviews with managers and directors and 1 member from HR. Some of the questions were tough but the campus recruiter in my initial interview encouraged me to do my research and come prepared and ready to ask some questions."
- "The interview was a two step process, a hire view video and a two part interview with recruiters. I don't like interviews in general but I really like how Burlington structured theirs. They had a behavioral and a technical portion of the interview. Even though this was difficult, I felt like it really gave me an opportunity to show them what I can do."
- "The interview process went really smoothly. They made sure to keep us updated and feeling supported throughout the whole process."
- "We had 2 interviews, the first was an individual video interview, and then the second interview was a video interview with the human resources team. The second interview was much longer and more comprehensive. The first half was traditional interview questions and then the second half was application based questions, where we had to analyze a sample report."
