Pluspunten
As a college student, I've been a part of several other internship programs in the past. Colony Logic has definitely been the most fun and best learning experience. Because it's a startup, there is a lot of opportunity for you to make a direct impact. You can take a hands-on approach to everything you do, and you know that your work actually matters. The team is encouraging and open to your ideas, but gives you clear direction and/or advice. Even on days that are slow, you never have nothing to do. You're not running around making copies or getting coffee- you are working on projects that you can call your own. Benefits include: free food, ping pong table, frequent company-wide townhall/ lunch meetings, ability to talk with managers/ C-level execs freely and exchange ideas, great location (right across the street from Staples center and a 5 min drive from USC.)
Minpunten
Working in a startup means you will get involved in a lot of different tasks and helping out other teams. You are not set to one specific role. This means, sometimes you might get pulled away from your everyday tasks to help out with a new project in a different department. Although this is a great learning opportunity because you get to know a little about a lot, if you're uncomfortable with juggling several tasks- a startup might not be right for you. If you think you can handle a variety of tasks on your plate- go for it! Other than that, the office can be a little quiet sometimes...
