Good way to gain initial real-world programming experience - werkgeversreview Software Developer Intern bij KrowdFile

Remote and flexible hours. Ability to follow along the creation of a non-profit website start-up that aims to assist freelancers succeed in conducting business.

Need to be self-motivated to conduct weekly assignments, which isn't for everyone.

Not really any pros that I can think of. The whole experience was a waste of time.

Without getting into detail (NDA), the work I did was not fulfilling. It almost felt like a scam to even work there in the first place. Everything felt like terribly boring busy work, and I did not really gain anything from the experience. I only even joined because I was desperate to find an internship; I ended up quitting after about a month anyway. Don't worry about the details, just don't work here. Oh yeah, and from the time I started working there, until this very day, their facebook "like" number hasn't changed. That has to be a good sign.
