Pros

It's taken me some time to write this review, as I've needed time to process my experience, heal from it and be able to express the scar this place left. There was no formal training, being left to my own devices after just a week. It was clear that management seemed to put personal bias before professionalism, which made it very difficult to communicate. When assignments were turned in, it was returned with a sharp " ALL OF IT IS WRONG!" Without the chance to explain where mistakes were made or how to improve them. Being belittled, demeaned and discouraged were a daily occurrence, walking on eggshells constantly. Granted, leaving this place only served to reveal what was truly in store for my career, as it seemed to have blossomed immediately after my exit, but I must say...if you are considering working here, be mindful of everything.

Cons

Colleagues that were helpful, encouraging and kind.

Pros

The team let me do meaningful work alongside them and cared a lot about my experience/growth

Cons

On the shorter side for an internship (around 10 weeks) but those weeks are packed full so it balances out
