Great Culture but Poor Recognition - Anonymous employee IPC Employee Review

Good work environment, Helpful team, Good opportunity to convert to full time

The internship is only 9 weeks, and the pay is moderate.

My team tried to support me. I did complete some solid work before everything became chaotic.

I would come in each day ready to work on what we had actually planned, and then halfway through the morning everything would shift and I would need to scrap work and start over, and this would just keep happening constantly without warning. No one from above ever explained what the actual goals were or what we were supposed to be accomplishing, so I was always working blind and guessing at what mattered. Decisions got made and pushed down without anyone checking in with the people actually doing the work, which meant major deliverables got restarted multiple times for no reason I could understand. I spent way more time trying to figure out what was being asked of me than actually producing anything, and that just wore me down over time. Eventually I just stopped trying to make sense of any of it.
