Pros

GlobalGiving staff are the best of the best. Working at this organization was a pleasure each day to be around such intelligent, forward-thinking, innovative, and passionate colleagues. They truly embody GG's core values: always open, committed to wow, never settle, listen/act/learn/repeat. As for being an intern, the staff really took the time to invest in training our cohort for success through a comprehensive orientation and ongoing learning opportunities (brown bags, special events, film screenings, etc.). Interns were given meaningful projects and played important roles in facilitating the smooth-running of GlobalGiving. I helped amazing people around the world to fund their incredible projects--an experience I will never forget!

Cons

The only downside is this is an unpaid internship.

Thanks! Based on this (and other) feedback, we've launched a paid fellowship program that builds on the success of our internships and improves upon it by making it a paid, year-long position to provide more training and experience.

Pros

Everything was organized and prepared for me when I arrived and the onboarding process was very smooth. GlobalGiving had my accounts and systems prepared prior to my first day and they had projects lined up for me. The team members who guided me through my assignments were very helpful and provided comprehensive instruction on how to navigate the various platforms I needed to use. Everyone was very kind and welcoming and make a concerted effort to include me in all meetings and work social events from the beginning. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.

Cons

The office was sometimes quiet but very good for focus!
