“There were many opportunities to grow within the company. For example, aside from product management, I reached out to a few designers and data scientists to explore both disciplines. They were all so cheerful and excited to share their learnings and prepared me with the tools and learnings to do well in their roles. On top of that, the company and the people are all mission driven. It was great to see that everyone was committed to helping democratize opportunity and information to all college students across the country, regardless of their position. ”

“My favorite part of the internship was the people I got to work with. They were always willing to help out, and seemed to enjoy their work, which made it a fun and effective learning environment. From a software standpoint, it was awesome to be able to work on features that have been implemented in the product. I didn't just get project to complete that may or may not be used, but I was working with a team to develop features that needed to be completed by a deadline. It also offered many insights into the other aspects of product development. I got to work closely with the design team and product management, and attended various company events about data analytics and design principles.”
