Pros
Entire staff is welcoming, fun, and supportive. The mission and potential of the company and its employees was encouraging and exceptional in comparison to what I expected for my first internship. Everyone felt they had the opportunity to make an impact at any time. Management made clear what was expected and also understood the limitations of an unpaid intern's commitment.
Cons
The environment within a start-up involves fast-paced and sporadic task management. This made work difficult when objectives seemed to often change. In addition, the hunt for investment and early adopters of the product in development seemed to overshadow the research and development, likely a consequence of the phase the company had been in at the time.
