I’m an intern who joined during summer vacation, and I really feel that I’ve learned a lot.
In fact, the entrepreneurial atmosphere at National Taiwan University is very strong. I’ve seen many startups in garages, but not many of them actually make money.
Here, however, you can see what a genuinely profitable startup looks like—it’s truly a model of lean entrepreneurship.
Our senior colleagues, including Max himself, are also very kind to us. There is usually fruit and even snacks to eat, and colleagues kindly peel the fruit for us.
Besides learning a lot about marketing, if you’re a man, you can enjoy many of the company’s training benefits. Max, the boss, even personally took me to a nightclub, since personal consulting usually costs money, so I felt like I really got a great deal. What moved me most was that he was even willing to help me resolve my relationship problems in the middle of the night.
Max has expectations of everyone on the team, and you can’t slack off just because you’re an intern, so take special note of that if you come here for an internship.
Also, small companies often have unexpected situations—for example, when an advertisement isn’t performing well—and you have to put out the fire quickly. People who don’t like change may not be a good fit.
