Review

Overall, the internship placement was very good, but the on-site program coordinators were terrible. The internship was in my area of study and provided a alot of professional growth, but the included trips left a alot to be desired. We were put in a hostel during one of our trips and were constantly nagged by the program coordinators if any of us broke a rule, even by one inch. We were constantly shouted at, and it created a tough environment. There was one coordinator who was respectful the whole time, but the others had an obviously poor attitude and should not be leading us, as it was most of our first time in Japan.

Overall, the program coordinator's attitude had a poor reflection of Absolute Internship and created a tense, zero-tolerance environment throughout the duration of the program. To Absolute Internship, hire coordinators with a good attitude. The crazy part is that there are very few negative reviews. I would advise using Absolute Internship only to be placed in an internship and do everything else on your own.

Would you recommend this program?
No, I would not

Private Note to Provider (optional)
Find good-mannered program coordinators. Alejandra Pentzke is probably not working for AI anymore, but she is someone you should not hire again. It was a problem being nagged 80% of the time on the group trips. You should be clearer about local customs and manners, and most of the time, it was that we did not know the customs, but we were expected to know. Your program coordinators were ineffective and in the wrong job. End of story.
