Drinking from the firehose - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei RPM Revenue Drivers: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I understand that this internship is not for everyone, but I personally really appreciated the opportunity as a young student to be able to have the opportunity to do work that would actually be used. I also appreciated the emphasis on personal growth and the availability of help when I needed it, but allowing me to learn much simply by nature of the experience. Also great people to work with, most everyone is very bright, motivated and positive which makes for a great work environment. Also for me it was really nice that you only have 2 one hour meetings a week in the office and the rest of the time I could work anywhere this made it easier to manage my time.

This is a startup company and naturally there is room for refinement. If you are looking for a perfected and refined experience look elsewhere, in some respects everyone is learning together(in some respects I feel this is the greatest benefit of this internship, learning to work innovatively, refining and developing processes).

I would really have to stretch to find some pros for working at RPM. I worked on 4 different projects and out of those 4 I really only enjoyed 1 of them. It was pretty interesting and we did some work that actually helped progress the company...the other 3 projects...not so much.

I worked really hard for about 4.5 months for free cause they wont pay for the internship and was looking forward to being hired on so I could do some "real" work and get paid...but after all of that they made me an offer to work 60 hrs/week on 3 projects and were gonna pay me about $450 for the month. They mapped it out for me and if I would have stayed on I would have made about 24,000 in the first year, BUT ONLY AFTER WORKING 60hr weeks. So I had to decline.
