Pros
Office culture is characterized by open, fun, caring, and collaborative that gives you a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow. This was my first internship, but out of my worries before starting my internship, I found it easy to quickly adapt to the firm because my co-CEOs and colleagues were super friendly to help me “learn the ropes”. Co-CEOs do not put too much pressure and keep an eye on employees all the time, but give us freedom and space so that we can freely work on our assigned projects. Everyone do not feel hesitate to bring up their own difficulties and ask for team members’ help. This made me feel confident to speak up and psychologically safe to make mistakes without feeling any embarrassed, rejected, or punished by other team members.
Cons
Since it is a young and small company with the working team of 7-8 people, the load of work should sound a bit overwhelming. You are also expected to have a willingness to work in different aspects of the company, which might not really relate to your professional field.
