Great learning opportunity at an up and coming media company - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso AlleyWatch

During my internship here, I was given a lot of assignments that involved writing stories, as well as editing stories. I also had the chance to attend an entrepreneurial event in Manhattan with one of the company's co-founders as well. Very open and responsive management style, encourages collaboration with other interns.

Advancement opportunities partially contingent upon having connections within the NYC start-up scene (goes with the territory of being an outlet which reports on start-up news); this is, however, only a problem if you don't live in the immediate area.

Allowed me to gain experience with social media and copy editing; covered business news for the first time.

Copy editing was only fixing grammar or spelling, not working with authors to make writing better; Work by telecommute so no sense of community; was supposed to have an editor check-in every week and mentor—did not happen.
