I enjoyed the overall experience. Integrating into the team was super easy and I was pretty quickly put on client projects and jobs. I loved the collaborative atmosphere, everyone felt as though they were constantly learning as well.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to work on more video production sets, however with my school schedule and the whole pandemic thing happening, I was unable to.
Advice
Ask questions and take on projects you're unsure of! The team is super helpful & accomodating so any experience you want to pursue will be supported and encouraged!

Web Design and Development Intern
January - May 2020 • Burlington, VT
What I liked
Throughout my time as an intern at Scout Digital I learned so much about both the industry and myself. There were always new opportunities and projects available for me to work on so I never felt like I was wasting my time. I was always being taught new things about design and client management which I had never explored or learned in class.
I really enjoyed working alongside people with a diverse range of backgrounds and skill sets. Being able to get feedback from my coworkers who may not have been designers really helped me improve on my own abilities and learn to look at some things from different perspectives!
That being said, the entire team is made up of really welcoming and enthusiastic people who immediately try to make you feel valued and who want get to know you as more than just your job title.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more opportunities to collaborate with the video side of Scout Digital and get a deeper understanding of what they were working on, but because of COVID-19, we were working remotely which made that rather difficult. It was nice to look over in the office and really see what they were working on!
Advice
I think you should go in feeling confident about your skills and expertise and don't be afraid to share your opinion. They value people who speak up and provide input or ideas that they have and really value anything you have to say. You're there for a reason so share your expertice!
