Tips

Practical tips to help you research a company and make a better decision before applying for an internship.

How is your preferred company doing financially?

  • Company Wall has data through the end of last year.
  • IRMS provides more detailed reports.

How many interns has the company had so far?

You can find this information on our website.

How has the number of employees changed over time?

  • Company Wall: data for the last 3 years.
  • LinkedIn: visit company profile page, there is a graph number of people over the latest period (the past few months).

Compare employee trends with the number of past interns to get a rough indication. This does not confirm how many interns stayed at the company.

Check the company internship page

Visit the company’s internship page and reach out with questions.

Check last year’s interns at the company

If the company had interns last year, you may be able to find someone from your college in the original source data and contact them (e.g. over linkedin).
