Pros

Working here you will get a lot of responsibility from your first day. Most people in the company are pleasant as well.

Cons

You will NOT be paid here, no matter how long you stay. Interns are expected to work 9-6, with the responsibilities of a full-time employee and there is no structure whatsoever. You have to learn everything yourself and you won't get any guidance. You will be yelled at for every little mistake you make and if you do something right it will be taken for granted and marginalized. You'll be told that you will be at the forefront of mobile and creative innovation, but that is not really true. You will spend your time reading about it in TechCrunch, MediaPost etc while the CEO is traveling the country, networking. Although any potential client can see that the company is in shambles. The CEO travels so much, in fact, that he has no time to actually build his own company. Lunch breaks are frowned upon. The turnover rate is insanely high. The longest standing employee (minus the two founders) started in February. A lot of the employees are foreigners that have no alternative work options.

FDG is in NYC, and success here has different rules. We no longer rely on interns, but since we only hire from within, we do want to give opportunities that other companies won't to people who ache for real challenges and fast professional and personal growth. We want diversity, so we encourage a global workforce to find their American dream here, lucky for us, many choose to do so. Finally, we take no hire for granted, and as a team we know this.

Pros

I've worked for many different types of companies, of different sizes, in various industries – from huge brands to companies you'll probably never hear of. This has by far been the most challenging and most rewarding job I've had yet. While there are days where you won't walk out of the office without being mentally exhausted, the experience and the high-level work you get access to can't be replaced. The company understands and is executing strongly in the digital/mobile tech space. If you're looking to get your hands on experience in the tech scene and come out, literally in a matter of days, with a hefty amount of knowledge and experience, this is the place for you.

Cons

- Tough work. There will always be work (relevant assignments that push you and the company forward) for you to do and deadlines are constantly and quickly rolling. If you're not used to high speeds or adjusting to them, and can't balance at times an overwhelming amount of work, this is going to be a tough gig for you. - While everyone is super friendly, the company has some work to do to foster a team environment and dynamic.
