At the time the work was a bit routine but the overall company was exploding and profitable. Ultimately chose to move on as I required more work/life balance.
Intern in Westport, CT

Interning at BW is a truly unique experience. While at times stressful, the internship enables lots of growth and learning. The full time employees are doing their best to help you demonstrate your capacity.

Your weaknesses and they don't want a fluffy answer. They actually want to know your weakness. I gave a weakness that good also be a strength and the answer didn't fly with the interviewer. I was challenged by the interviewer; I honestly did not know what to say. So the interviewer continued to say 1. I either know my weakness and do not want to look bad and tell them 2. I truly do not know any of my weaknesses. Very challenging question.
