This reviewer was an intern for 6 months before choosing to accept a permanent position. If the internship experience had been as negative as described, it is unclear why he would have chosen to continue. During his short tenure as a permanent employee, the company was supportive and approved a long leave of absence even during an active project phase.
As a matter of practice across all locations and functions:
* All Internships are paid at market rates or above.
* We maintain strong partnerships with local universities in the regions where we operate.
* Interns are non-billable to clients and numbers are limited per project to ensure quality senior mentorship.
* Expected salary is discussed prior to interviews to ensure alignment, and offers match the stated expectation without negotiation downward. In this case, the reviewer was paid what he had requested for in writing.
BioQuest Advisory remains committed to transparent recruitment, fair compensation, and a conducive learning environment for all team members.
