Pros

Ability to meet a lot of candidates.

Cons

- Significant pay discrepancies existed, with employees hired later receiving up to 30% more for performing the same role. - My employment ended due to a company “restructuring” shortly after I raised concerns about compensation fairness, despite receiving positive performance feedback from leadership. - Throughout my 3.5-year tenure, compensation was not reviewed, despite initial assurances. - Explanations for pay differences cited location and market factors, though I was based in a high-cost region and broader market conditions continued to shift. - The recruiting team played a key role in the company’s success, handling thousands of interviews, yet often felt overlooked in internal recognition and external communications. - There was limited communication from management—only a handful of team meetings took place over several years. - Overall company culture lacked transparency and consistent engagement.

Pros

Extern offers a wide variety of externships that provide students with access to research opportunities with different firms, like Schreiber Foods and Canva. Program managers are all friendly and accessible, and resources are usually very thorough. Externships from the platform are an excellent way of getting some professional experience that looks good on resumes and teaches students valuable skills that can be applied in the workforce.

Cons

While the majority of resources provided during externship projects are useful, some could be improved to effectively facilitate students' understanding of the project. Some wording on modules could also be amended to avoid confusion.
