Vantaggi
My coworkers in my office were really nice and fun. There was lots to do and never a dull moment.
Svantaggi
Where to start? While everyone in my office respected me and valued my opinion as an intern, many others in the company did not. A particular instance where I was assigned to a project during a conference call, and someone piped up saying that they "didn't want *the intern* to work on that. And that they had *real* professionals to complete that job" comes to mind. That's just once time that this occurred. The company has a small budget and I remember being frequently asked to call companies with software we wanted to use, and lie to them to get extended free trials of the software. It always made me feel terrible. Another budget issue is that this was an unpaid position, and after doing a lot more research into the legality of unpaid internships, this was a HIGHLY illegal practice...
Look, maybe this is the right position if you are seriously passionate about eSports and there are things you are willing to compromise on. This job did open a lot of doors for me and I am grateful for it. And maybe things have changed since I've worked there. But after the experience I had, I would seriously caution potential interns to think twice about taking a position there.
