Pros
I'm just finishing up my last few weeks of an amazing summer internship at Oohlala. Not once have they ever made me feel like an intern, they really make me feel like a big part of the team. I hope to be back after I graduate! Here are just some of the reasons this has been the internship of a lifetime:
-The sales team at Oohlala is incredibly talented and generous. I've learned so much from observing them and asking them a million questions every day.
-The entire team is also very warm, friendly and generous. I've been able to learn a lot about all aspects of the business, and never feel afraid to ask questions.
-The Oohlala platform itself is relevant, helpful, and necessary. It doesn't feel like selling when you know that what you're offering can actually impact students lives
-The opportunity to work in this industry is amazing, and something I didn't realize when I started. Getting the chance to speak with VP's, Directors, Deans, and C(I/F/O)O's of some of the best higher ed institutions across North America has taught me an insane amount and has given me a new appreciation for Higher Ed. The people in this space are incredibly genuine, and all want the same thing - to improve student outcomes.
-There is a profound emphasis on learning at Oohlala. Awesome guest speakers, 1-on-1 sessions, group reflection, helping each other out and hands-on experiences are just some of the ways that they help us learn and grow as a team.
-The company culture at Oohlala is second to none. Every single employee here is amazing at what they do, and are also generally just really fun and nice people!
-Foosball, lots of foosball!!
-Lots and lots and lots of free coffee
Cons
Nothing really I could say that's negative about my experience. My one warning to those applying is that It is a startup and everything moves very fast. Enjoy the ride!
