Pros

Extern offers a wide variety of externships that provide students with access to research opportunities with different firms, like Schreiber Foods and Canva. Program managers are all friendly and accessible, and resources are usually very thorough. Externships from the platform are an excellent way of getting some professional experience that looks good on resumes and teaches students valuable skills that can be applied in the workforce.

Cons

While the majority of resources provided during externship projects are useful, some could be improved to effectively facilitate students' understanding of the project. Some wording on modules could also be amended to avoid confusion.

Pros

Great opportunities to really get involved and assist the team with paid expenses

Cons

Would say that I felt the role was more business development oriented than it PMM oriented but I think it was the nature of the startup culture -- the firm has grown a great deal since then and it's been great to follow the progress
