Pros

GlobalGiving’s staff is incredibly inclusive of interns and generally are so grateful for the work we do. We work in an open office so accessing your boss is easy, and there is a general culture of transparency and celebrating success. During my mid term review I told my (incredible) supervisor that the work I was doing was getting a bit stale and that I would love some longer term projects. Additionally, I wanted to hear more about the work that our team was doing so that I could gain perspective on our whole marketing strategy. Two days later she and my other supervisor presented a list of projects they’d brainstormed for me to do and asked me to pick which I wanted to do. Our entire team also changed the weekly check in meetings to a day that I worked so that I could be more in the loop. Really phenomenal culture towards interns.

Cons

-I’m not sure how applicable the skill-set interns learn here is for other employment. -The work may not be challenging enough for some interns. -Not much opportunity for full time work after internship -People are only friendly 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time they’re making a beeline for the free food corner because someone made cookies.

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!
