Pros

- I started out as an intern and after 6 months was given a considerable more amount of responsibility. It is rare for an employer to reward hardworking interns by giving them more important work. -I was regularly asked what my suggestions were for projects and was given the opportunity to showcase my creativity. - I was asked what type of tasks I typically enjoy most so that I could focus on work that I particularly like. -Fun but professional workplace. All employees had a good sense of humor even when there was a ton of work to do. Leadership was also very flexible if I had conflicting commitments and notified them in advance. -By far the biggest pro is the mentorship that both of the cofounders offer. They genuinely cared about what my career goals were. They offered me sound advice and helped me network.

Cons

- Pay for interns is minimal, just a travel stipend, but this is the reality of working at a new company.

Pros

I was doing mostly sales but also some project management. - Lots of opportunities to take leadership roles - Pay increases straightforward to negotiate to get if you perform well and ask for them. - Leadership does not micromanage and is motivated to grow the firm - Company is financially responsible, avoids layoffs, and really cares about this.

Cons

- Some lack of direction as far as which markets the company should grow into - Some lack of experience in leadership when it comes to growing the sales/ marketing function

Pros

Small team startup environment creates room to step up, fill gaps, and make a real impact Supportive and empowering manager and team culture Strong investment in the intern program — structured meetings, including direct access to the CEO Intern cohort was well-organized, mobilized, and given genuine learning opportunities

Cons

Felt like I operated in silos, limiting cross-functional visibility and collaboration Frequent reorganizations and shifting team structures create instability and ambiguity
