Pros

I enjoy working for start-ups so this was a great way for me to get involved and network, but it didn't turn out that way to what I expected after-all.

Cons

The CEO Reza Chowdhury is full of himself and just wants to be "famous".

Pros

My internship gave me a great opportunity to learn more about the startup scene in NYC by taking part in a number of events and activities that I would not have normally had access to.

Cons

The workload can be quite heavy from time to time depending on the company's projects.

Pros

During my internship here, I was given a lot of assignments that involved writing stories, as well as editing stories. I also had the chance to attend an entrepreneurial event in Manhattan with one of the company's co-founders as well. Very open and responsive management style, encourages collaboration with other interns.

Cons

Advancement opportunities partially contingent upon having connections within the NYC start-up scene (goes with the territory of being an outlet which reports on start-up news); this is, however, only a problem if you don't live in the immediate area.
