Pros

The people at the company were nice.

Cons

As soon as I started there was little to no mentorship. I was given projects without instruction and had to figure it out myself. When I asked for work I was told I would be given some then nothing came along. I was then instructed to do trainings, but then was questioned over the trainings because company funds were tight and I shouldn’t spend company time just doing trainings (even though there was no work). It was the most back and forth work experience I have ever had. I was then laid off, along with a lot of other new grads. If you are looking for a solid work/learning experience and structured job as a new grad, I would not recommend this company. (Also would not recommend moving to somewhere for this company due to lack of stability)

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
