The Experience

Kavita Manbahal

My experience as an Intern at Playfair has been amazing! I felt welcomed and apart of the company from day one. The daily self-assessments have given me a chance not only to reflect on my productivity for the day but also to see my growth as the days and weeks go by. Throughout this internship, I am developing and strengthening my skills, in addition to adding value to this company!

Sean Vayser

Being an intern at Playfair has served as an amazing learning experience. I’ve been assigned tasks that align with my interests, allowing me to grow my knowledge in fields that I am interested in—like finance—while being able to contribute directly to the firm’s success. The internship has also made me more comfortable working in an online environment, while expanding my communication and organizational skills.

I’ve been part of the team since Jan 2020. I’ve been able to gain experience and knowledge of what it’s like to work in an online business for the first time. This company welcomes feedback that helps and encourages the team’s personal growth. I appreciate Playfair’s respect and guidance for my goals.

Lloyd Pierre

I started as an intern summer of 2020. I enjoy this whole new world. I am exposed to various resources I have never dreamed of using. Playfair helps me improve my communications skills and social activity to a point where it is second nature. My team is very supportive and endearing to a point where I feel like family.
