Even as an intern, I can feel that the company values our feedback

Pros

You will receive systematic questionnaires every day, such as: What do you think of the manager? How is the efficiency of team collaboration? Are our goals clear? Will your internship here help you develop your career? etc. When I get along with regular employees, I don’t feel like I am an intern.

During meetings, interns are invited to participate in discussions with regular employees. Projects are done with regular employees. Everyone eats together at noon and works overtime together when they are busy.

Remember, my boss once responded to an email to the team after one o'clock in the evening. At that time, I really admired her drive. She got up at 7 o’clock in the morning, went to bed so late at night, and occasionally took care of the children. Every day I saw her, she was full of energy.

Of course, we usually don't work overtime until very late. During that time, the project had just started. The whole atmosphere at Amazon is like this. Everyone gets along very well.

There is a tradition in our group: no matter who leaves, everyone takes pictures together. Those who leave will give gifts to other people in the group.

The last batch of internship students left. At that time, he gave me:

  • Succulents
  • Hairpins
  • Chocolates
  • A small camera
  • A decorated bottle (I don’t know what it is, let’s call it that)

When the last manager resigned, she gave me a ledger for 2020. Each of us hugged. Finally, when I sent her to the elevator, I saw her crying.

When the last manager left, we sent her to the parking lot. She said that she hoped we could all find good jobs and that we could message her via WeChat anytime if we were needed.

When the manager left, we sang and ate together at the KTV, including all the interns who had interned at Kindle CLC. There was a classmate who was studying in Hong Kong, returned to Beijing that day, and left the next day.

I have never been in this kind of environment before. You may say that I have never seen the market and it is easy to be satisfied. But I really like this kind of working condition. I am also very happy that my three managers have better job opportunities and chose to leave.

Cons

It is not a full English environment.
