- “The work ethics, office environment, and work-life balance are top-notch for all employees. As an intern, I am fortunate to engage in work I am passionate about, gaining a well-rounded experience alongside talented colleagues who consistently offer support and encouragement. This supportive culture enhances my growth and enthusiasm for the work every day.”
- “The culture is amazing. This is my first internship, so I came in very anxious. but everyone is so friendly and really makes you feel at home.”
- “My team was friendly; expectations were reasonable. I worked between 30-40 hours a week, but they were flexible and gave me less time when I was still in school. My coworkers all care about their own work/life balance, so it is not uncommon for someone to work virtually when a family member needed help, when they felt sick, when they had a trip planned, etc.”

- “I had one interview before being offered this internship, and it was a very enjoyable experience. It was still important for me to prepare, but I did not feel overly stressed in the interview.”
- “I loved interacting with my team before I got hired; everyone was friendly. There were 2 interviews, and one of them was far more challenging than the other. I had to report on a past research project for 30 minutes. The team was really supportive as I presented, and they gave me plenty of support and feedback”
- “The onboarding process was smooth. At times I wouldn't hear anything from anyone for weeks, which was a little annoying.”
