Pros
Pros:
-The experience gave me clarity about the kind of workplace culture I want to be part of in the future, and made it clear that any workplace culture similar to Waypoint’s, is not it.
-It motivated me to pursue environments that value mentorship and growth.
-I gained resilience and learned how to adapt under pressure.
Cons
Cons:
-As an intern, asking questions was treated like a burden instead of part of learning. Guidance was minimal, and mistakes were not approached as teachable moments.
-Interns were compared to higher-level students rather than supported at their own stage of training.
-Leadership occasionally made belittling comments about educational backgrounds, which felt unprofessional and discouraging.
-The overall atmosphere was tense, many days felt like “walking on eggshells.”
-Negative culture, including gossip about colleagues and even clients, created a toxic and disheartening environment.
