Intern position

Pros

A very organised and efficient company. From the start, there was a clear idea of the roles one was expected to fulfill. Everyone was helpful and encouraging.

Cons

Unpaid intern role. A lot of tasks to be done, fine to manage is one is able to prioritize. Fast-paced work culture can seem intimidating.

Pros

Great compensation for education and fitness. Family-friendly: there are a lot of benefits that extend to children and dependents.

Cons

Current health insurance is lackluster. Not enough incentives in fitness programs to encourage employees to stay fit. [i.e. points for working out that turn into gift cards or lowered health insurance costs].
