Vantaggi
The team was supportive and collaborative, and the stipend was decent (₹15,000 fixed + ₹1,000 variable). The company offered a fully remote work environment with a healthy culture and annual meet-ups. I gained strong learning experience in Ruby-based web scraping, including developing and maintaining custom web crawlers using XPaths and API integrations, implementing IP rotation and Selenium to handle complex websites, and ensuring reliable data delivery and integrity.
Svantaggi
The internship tenure is one year, which is longer than the typical six-month duration offered by most organizations. There is limited exposure beyond the Ruby-based web-scraping stack, with minimal long-term growth opportunities. Additionally, the work can become repetitive over time and may not remain sufficiently challenging for continued career development.
