The internship was moved entirely online, but Heidrick was still able to give us a feel for the company culture and inform us on the industry.
What I wish was different
I wish it had been in person of course. The long Zoom meetings were exhausting.
Advice
I highly recommend this company. Make sure to appear engaged and ask lots of questions.

What I liked
Easy-going, fun, and collaborative environment. The structure of the intern and full time analyst program is heavily geared towards mentorship, and many people in the company are more than willing to help.
What I wish was different
I wish there was more variety in the functions that I worked. I only worked in the Supply Chain function but wish I had more exposure to other areas.
Advice
Be open to receiving and taking advice from other. Also, be proactive in seeking out work & new projects, and try to anticipate the needs of your teams.
