Intern Reviews
- “The quality of life at my internship was positive, with a supportive and collaborative culture focused on learning and growth. The team and management were approachable, making it easy to adapt. Work hours were reasonable, with a healthy work/life balance that allowed for both productivity and personal time. Overall, the environment fostered professional development and wellbeing, making it a rewarding experience.”
- “Though I definitely worked a lot of hours, I enjoyed the work, and my team was very easy to work with, so even the late nights were enjoyable.”
- “The firm culture was really good. There were flexible working hours, and the people were also very welcoming. The workplace and work conditions provided comfort and motivated me to work better. Facilities like company-sponsored transportation also enabled me to come to the office daily.”
- “Culture is very relaxed; flat hierarchy where people often sit next to their bosses. However, employees are dedicated to their work and solution-oriented. I worked 9-6 mostly but had some flexibility and was less sometimes; the emphasis was on getting the work done, not putting in a certain number of hours.”

Getting Hired Here
- “The hiring process was quick, concise and clear. All the updates on the application were shared with us on an immediate basis. The HR people and recruiters were very helpful throughout the process, onboarding, during the internship, and post-internship as well.”

The interviews were tough; one [interview with] HR and an assessment center containing three more. But overall was one of the better processes out of 40+ for me.”

I interacted with multiple interviewers who conducted detailed interviews, focusing on both technical skills and behavioral fit (HR round). The interviews were challenging, and candidates were competitive. Overall, the process was highly selective, ensuring that only the most qualified applicants were chosen.”
