A friendly, driven and multicultural start-up
Pros
Because INSIDR is an ambitious start-up, working there was an amazingly enriching professional and human experience. Working in such an environment is demanding but extremely rewarding. You get to see the results of what you start and have a say on many of the strategic and determining decisions. Indeed, because it is a start-up that cares about their employees and interns, Nina & Benjamin, the founders, always have their minds open to new ideas and initiatives. Having started as an intern, I quickly could make my way up to becoming an operations manager thanks to the rapid growth of the company, which is an interesting point if you want to progress and acquire hands-on experience quite rapidly. Besides, INSIDR being a very international start-up at its core, you get to work with a very interesting and friendly bunch of people from all over the world, from different backgrounds, with different languages and cultures. The multicultural aspect, especially if you're new to Paris, is a great opportunity and an exciting way to meet people!
Cons
As any ambitious start-up, INSIDR is a highly demanding work environment, so don't be afraid to do extra hours if necessary! You probably won't get a 9 to 5 everyday. It can be challenging, but it is also a good experience. That being said, Nina & Ben are very conscious that everyone has their own things and are very flexible when it comes to accommodating if possible.
