API Intern Group Reviews

I had an incredible experience with the InternGroup in Tokyo. The staff was exceptional, providing continuous support and assistance in all aspects of my internship. My internship was equally fantastic; the company I worked for significantly contributed to my growth by enhancing both my skills and knowledge. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in Japanese culture, exploring the diverse food, and learning about the rich traditions. The whole experience was enriching and memorable, making my time in Tokyo truly amazing.

The internship was truly a one of a kind experience, In the 6 Weeks I was there I grew as a person worker and much more due to the cultural immersion and work experience I was luck enough to participate in. The Madrid intern group was there every step of the way and very helpful throughout the whole process.

Madrid is a beautiful city with tons of things to do no matter what your interests are, the food is amazing the public transportation is very accessible and easy to navigate.

Overall I had an amazing time made several great connections and would recommend this experience to anyone thinking of participating in an internship abroad

My program coordinators, Alisha & Erika were the absolute best. Everything under TIG was fantastic. Best internship I could have asked for and there were always fun events to attend through the intern group. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to do an international internship. I was an intern at an architecture firm for 8 weeks. The only thing I wish I could have changed is how far I lived from my office. The commute was tough at times but honestly I don’t have really anything negative to say.

The Intern Group was great in facilitating internships abroad! My destination trip was Madrid, where I stayed for 6 weeks, and I can't emphasize enough how life-changing the experience was. Lalita and Nikte were extremely supportive and ensured the needs of all interns were met.

Overall, I've made some amazing friends and got exactly the type of work experience I was looking for. If you're thinking of applying to build your resume or make long-lasting friends/memories, I highly recommend it!

I had such an amazing experience in Madrid this summer. I loved the company I was working for and I learned so much about my field, both in general and in an international context. It was super easy to make friends with other interns. The social events set up by TIG gave us the opportunity to not only explore the city and adjacent towns, but also build a community with other interns. I could not have been more satisfied with my experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in international travel.

The experience itself was amazing - Madrid is an incredible city, especially for younger people.

First and foremost, the team at TIG is splendid. Extremely kind and supportive. As an intern, I felt like I barely took care of any logistics, as everything was taken care of for me, and any issues that I faced I was supported throughout. Big thank you to Lalita for all her help while I was here, when I needed anything. And also a big thank you to Nikte, event coordinator, who planned fun and unique events and was also there to listen if we needed any help. Truly enjoyed meeting both of them!

Transport system is great and extremely cheap compared to other cities (8 euros for a month of bus/metro pass). So much culture, art, food, dance, etc. In a city like this you really have to immerse yourself to live the best experience. So if you are someone that loves culture and exploring, you will love Madrid. Everything is so close if you live in the center, max 15 minute walk to almost everything.

Only feedback I would give to future interns is actually just a disclaimer - the summer here is very hot (but manageable, as it is dry warmth), and travelling outside of Madrid is at its peak in terms of how expensive it gets to travel in Europe!

Again, I would highly recommend and will look back at this experience with a sense of gratitude, not only for the professional skills and insights I gained but also for the amazing time I had in Madrid, meeting great people, learning new things, and growing personally.

My internship was a 6 month program in a non-TIG accommodation. The advisors were down to earth people, always available, and very helpful. My internship was an IT based one. I really enjoyed the company I worked at. All of my coworkers were very accommodating and I had a healthy work-life balance. Outside of the internship, there were many events that TIG hosted, including welcome parties for new Interns once or twice a month, going to landmarks in and around Tokyo, and outings to the nearby Kanagawa prefecture. I got along well with my fellow interns within the program and we also organized doing our own explorations of Tokyo. My only complaint is that the program fees are a little expensive, but if money is no a problem, I would whole-heartedly recommend this program to anyone looking to gain work experience in Tokyo or broaden their international perspective.

I have wanted to come to Japan since I was a kid and was over the moon to be able to visit while also interning for a company that is in the field I want to pursue. This program was absolutely amazing. I felt supported throughout the entire process and always had a helping hand when I needed it. I am very grateful for Erika as she always checked in on me and made sure I was succeeding personally and professional throughout the program. Overall, I rate this experience a 5/5 because I was able to explore Tokyo to my heart's content while also learning so much at my internship. If you are considering joining this program, please do!

I really enjoyed my 10-week internship program in London. I appreciate that TIG checked in on me periodically to make sure I was ok. They regularly sent updates of things going on and things to do in London. Their staff responded promptly whenever I contacted them (before and during my internship). I also liked the three events that were offered as part of my program.

The internship itself ultimately went well, though I wasn’t happy with it at first. I expected more structure and mentoring. I think those things would’ve made this a more effective internship. The people at the company were great; it’s just that the way things were done was a bit chaotic. However, I still gained so much from the experience. I was pushed out of my comfort zone (for the better), tried new things, and was able to make a difference at the company. My experience made me more confident and capable, and it helped me get a job in a new career field.

The professional and internship preparation resources offered by TIG were helpful and interesting. However, I was disappointed that they did not follow through on the alumni success coaching session as promised after my internship.

Overall, I had a wonderful time in London. I did pretty much everything I wanted to do, and my time there helped me grow personally and professionally. I’m so late with this since my internship was from the end of November 2023 to the beginning of February 2024, but thank you for everything, TIG!

The Intern Group program was an amazing experience! I was in Madrid, Spain for 8 weeks and I learned so much about the culture and the language. I have always wanted to go to Spain, and I’m so glad i found this program. They provided a remote internship to me so I was able to travel around Spain and other parts of Europe. The people within the program were so friendly and so fun. I met so many new friends. This was an experience I will never forget and would love to do again. I highly recommend The Intern Group!
