Internship
Things that I like about XM
1) There’s happy hour every Friday. There will be pints of Heineken & catered food and everyone will gather at the pantry to interact with one another.
2) We have a living room in the middle of the office where there are sofas and couches, and get this, an X-Box 360!!! Definitely a great way to increase productivity! haha.
3) Dress Code: Cool & Funky. (No more G2000 & Raoul)
4) Relaxing. We stroll into office at 9.30am, have 2 hours lunches. Nuff said.
5) We get invitations to parties and contests. A fellow intern & I took part in the Nokia Wireless Adventure trial race (a la Amazing Race) and guess what? We WON!! We beat a few other agencies and Nokia staff to win the inaugural Nokia Wireless Adventure (trial) race. (Therefore, we’re now technically “award-winning” interns =P)
6) The people here are very chill. MSN is the mode of communication in the office.
Things that I NOT like about XM:
1) Lack of rules. Everyone seems pretty laid-back & occasionally slack. Not exactly very driven. Not enough passion in the office.
2) My senior (or mentor) doesn’t give me much work to do. Bleaugh. Enthusiasm for the job is not as strong as before & I end up watching Heroes & The Office on the internet (http://www.tv-links.co.uk)
3) My email address is Intern4_XM@xm-asia.com. It’s such a reality check.
4) The pay sucks. $550 per month. I can do better.
