Internship Program
We welcomed 65 interns this summer. Here’s why:
- Talent pipeline: Over 100 current employees started as interns. We evaluate real work over three months for informed hiring decisions.
- Real impact: Interns develop features used by millions, not just mock-ups or slide decks.
- Fresh perspectives: Interns bring new ideas, cultural references, and energy to keep our product innovative.
This year’s cohort is the first to have used AI tools in school—we’re excited to see how they apply that learning.
