Pros
End-to-end ownership:I was given the opportunity to develop an AI agent from scratch — from ideation and architecture to model training and deployment.
I worked with integrated NLP and machine learning components, and explored practical uses of AI.
Supportive mentorship (CEO): My mentor gave regular feedback and encouraged independent problem-solving, which helped me grow both technically and professionally.
Startup culture: The fast-paced environment and flat hierarchy made it easy to collaborate, pitch ideas, and iterate quickly.
Flexible hours: The internship was remote with flexible working times, which helped balance academic commitments.
Cons
The work was so engaging and the ideas so fresh, I often found myself thinking about AI models even during dinner. Be warned: this place can make you fall in love with your work.
