I worked 40 hours a week with two remote days. This was the perfect combination. Additionally, I was able to take time off for my family vacation without any problems arising.”
- “The overall environment is great. The people are friendly and helpful. The culture is very welcoming and very open to helping out interns. I was a full-time intern, so though it was a classic eight-hour workday, I enjoyed the flexibility of deciding when you get to come in. I do wish that there was a hybrid schedule for my internship as everyone else [besides] the interns were hybrid. I think that might have been a lot better for burnout and overall health.”
- “The quality of life was great. The culture here is very great, and people want to see you succeed here. I work 40 hours a week, and the work-life balance is good.”
- “My department was extremely flexible with my work/life balance. They were very understanding and always accommodating to my needs.”
Getting Hired Here
- “The hiring process was straightforward but took a little bit of time. When applications were due, we had to submit a transcript, and then a week or two later, I got a phone call that explained the internship and the overall job process, and then I was scheduled for an interview. The interview happened a week later, and it was very straightforward. A few hours later, I got the offer from HR.”
