Frequently asked questions
Do I need work authorization for my position?
We expect candidates to have the proper work authorization in the country they are applying to. International candidates should seek information from their local government and speak to their university career advisers for more information to make sure they have the correct work authorization. Historically, we are happy to welcome those with CPT or STEM-OPT for our internships and new grad positions in the US.
What if I don't have relevant experience in the role I am applying for?
Candidates are welcome to apply to any role! If applicable, you can share relevant projects, skills, and previous leadership roles.
I've already completed the technical online assessment. When can I expect to hear back?
If you pass the technical online assessment, we will reach out to you when we are ready to invite you to interviews. Keep in mind, we have many people who pass our online assessment and only a certain number of interviewers per position, so we can not guarantee a specific timeline to hear back. If you did not pass the online assessment, you should receive a rejection letter via email.
What is the duration of the summer internship program?
Our summer internship programs are 3 months in duration and start on or around May - June, for technical and non-technical disciplines. Internships can be up to 24 weeks for PhD students.
