The co-op provided challenging projects that were applicable to the current business decisions of the company. You are a part of the team here, not just an intern! The company is very small but that allows the co-op position to morph into something very versatile as there is opportunity to help out in almost every department.

The small company structure also leads to unique, dramatic interactions between coworkers than can be distracting, but is overall good experience for a student trying to decide the kind of work environment they work best in. The company also does not have a set introduction or training program for its intern so the first few weeks are severely transitional.
