Derris & Company

Content Team Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved the level of engagement at Derris. The company provided each intern with our own intern manager who gave us real-world, genuinely important tasks. The company included us in their weekly lunches, had us lead a current event discussion and give presentations about brands that Derris represents. They also organized q and a's so we could learn more about the company. As a whole, the company culture really enjoyable.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have gotten paid for this experience. I really loved it, but it was a struggle living in NYC without any income.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask for more tasks during an internship! Having a close relationship with my manager and letting them know what I liked doing/wanted to experience more of was super beneficial to my experience.
