Intern Reviews
- “The organizational culture is characterized by diversity and fosters mindfulness and self-care practices concerning mental and physical health. I genuinely feel valued as an individual, rather than just another employee within the organization.”
- “I averaged about 24 hours a week. The work/life balance that AHA offers is exceptional. The ability to work from home two days out of the workweek is very flexible, and it is something that I enjoy. In general, the AHA team is very welcoming and enjoys their job and what they do.”
- “The AHA has a very supportive culture. Everyone is willing to network with or help out the interns. The part-time and remote nature of my internship allows for a good work/life balance, which seems important to the company in general. I do wish there were opportunities for full-time internships; this would allow interns to work on more projects and get a better sense of what working post-grad will be like. I'd say the overall environment is inclusive and progressive, with opportunities for professional development and forming relationships.”
- “This is a really good internship if you can't commit more than 25 hours a week. I.e., I am still in school, so I was able to easily manage both my coursework and this internship. My manager was really accommodating and flexible with my work hours.”
Getting Hired Here
- “The first interview is virtual and recording yourself answering typical questions. Next, I spoke with a recruiter who was really approachable and knowledgeable. After that, I interviewed with my current manager and team, and they asked a lot more specific and technical questions, but the conversation flowed really well, and I felt very comfortable during it all.”
- “Every person I interviewed with was kind and willing to answer any and all questions I had. They did not leave any aspect of the position to mystery, so I knew what I was applying for and what the responsibilities of the position would be. At no time in this process was I ever unsure of my role, nor was I ever uncomfortable in asking questions or asking for guidance.”
- “I truly feel like the American Heart Association not only looks for competent and prepared people to employ but they also look at personality and if you are a team player. I think another huge factor in my hiring process was my dedication and passion for our organization, and I truly feel like my interviewers felt my love and want for this role.”
- “I thought the hiring process was straightforward, although there might have been some repetition between the HR/recruitment interview and the pre-recorded screening one.”
