Not challenging - Strategy Intern Planet Propaganda Employee Review

It was a great opportunity to learn and learn quickly. I was working on research projects for several clients and helped create marketing strategies.

This is not a position in which you are given a lot of direction or instruction. It's expected that you think critically which can be overwhelming as an intern if you're not prepared to do the work.

-Very cool office space, great location by the lake

During my time as an intern, I never got to sit in on a single meeting. This meant I would do work on a project, receive feedback, and then never get to see what happened to the project afterwards. I learned next-to-nothing because of this and nobody took any time to teach me a single thing. It is hard to feel like a part of the team or get to know anybody when you are completely excluded from meetings. I would have loved to have simply been a fly on the wall in client meetings in order to learn through observation, but that was never an option. I was also disappointed that there was no opportunity to provide feedback at the end of my internship. All my prior internships had involved at least some sort of conversation, exit interview or survey that allowed me to share my thoughts. I found it unprofessional that this was never discussed nor offered to me. I will also add that the nature of my work felt very administrative and menial -- sometimes it felt like I was just being given the grunt work that nobody else wanted to do/had time to do.
