- “It was great, and I had fun with some amazing people.”
- “I appreciated that we couldn't work over eight hours [per day] because it gave us a chance to be fully done for the day even if there was more work we could have done. I like the people in the office—the people I would work with and hang out with at work were very nice and welcoming to the interns. I did, however, feel a bit overwhelmed with my workload, and my manager was not always great at organization and filling me in on the details of my project/timelines, which made things stressful at times.”
