Overview
During the internship I worked on one project which involved interviewing stakeholders, presenting findings, coming up with new ideas
Skills
I have become more competent in delivering presentations and facilitating meetings with people
Responsibilities
Yes, I had a lot of responsibility and was always encouraged to take the lead on things such as leading interviews or meetings. The work I was doing was actually needed by other people
Support & Guidance
A lot of support was given! Everyone is willing to help, even if they're not directly your manager or on your team
Culture
Such an amazing culture. Everyone is driven and hardworking, but at the same time super friendly and kind. It makes working there fun
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship because of the lovely atmosphere at Vertex and all the amazing people I met. The work pushed me to develop new skills which I know I can take with me in the future. I feel like I have gained a lot by being here that I wouldn't have been able to gain elsewhere and have made many connections within the industry
Yes
Be open minded and get stuck in. Talk to as many people as possible, everyone is willing to have a conversation
