Objective 4 : Startup Culture + Career
Outcome Statement: I gained further understanding of the nature of working at a startup and discovered that it may fit my work style better than I previously considered.
self-assessment
Rating: 2/5 - Equals expectations in achievement of this learning goal
Before getting my internship at Bokksu, I had said that I didn’t want to work in startup spaces because of the uncertainty. However, after working here for the quarter, I can say that I think the variety in the work actually suits me better than a typical marketing agency position. Especially as an introduction to marketing jobs, I have had the chance to work across the team with people focused on all different kinds of marketing, and I have been able to learn so much and take on so many more responsibilities than I think I would have seen at a non-startup internship.
