How interns SHOULD be treated
It's been a long time. Sorry. Really busy at the start of the school year.I like Meebo because it allows us to use instant messaging even in places where instant messaging programs aren't installed. (I don't get to do that much, but it's nice to have it in a pinch.) But now I like these guys all the more. Check out what they had to say about their summer interns:
This summer's been great at meebo and a large part of thatThis is how interns SHOULD be treated: with meaningful work, and with public praise. A lesson to us all. Be a good mentor.
is because we had great interns. Last week we said our goodbyes and sent the last of them back to school. We were very lucky to have AJ, Matt, Mila, and Tri join our ranks and the work they've done has both helped the efficiency of meebo and helped our product.
Matt and Tri joined the server-side of things, with Matt on the development side and Tri on our operations side. Many of you have seen Matt's contribution: file transfer! We're really proud of him for starting the project from scratch, spec-ing out the design, and working with Vijay to tie it all up for production. Tri helped out Simon and Bob tremendously with internal operations and there wasn't a day that went by where he wasn't needed for something.
Many of you may have gotten emails from Mila in response to comments, bugs, suggestions, and general questions about meebo. In addition to helping out on customer service, she even got a chance to exercise some JavaScript skills for her hack day project. AJ's been with us the longest, starting out on the customer service side and transitioning to a great front-end developer. He worked on an awesome new system for helping us debug our releases, keep track of bugs, and increase efficiency during release time, and we're now all hooked on his summer creation.
We can't thank our interns enough for all their hard work, they'll all be missed.
