Hear from our interns

The internship community at Flatiron is unparalleled. Throughout the summer, I felt Flatiron’s deep commitment to a collaborative team culture and active mentorship through abundant intern face time with the CEO, CTO, and leadership at every level. The recruiting team’s top-notch communication, organization, and event planning also fostered our camaraderie, and our outings across Manhattan became a cornerstone of our tight-knit intern cohort. The summer program left me with a deep appreciation for the strong Flatiron community that will be an absolute joy to return to.

A mentor plays a crucial role in any journey you undertake and I am sincerely grateful for the mentorship I received from my project manager and teammates during my internship at Flatiron Health. The work culture is exceptional which gave me opportunities to learn new technical skills and collaborate with fellow employees thereby creating a safe space for me to grow as a professional. Company wide hackathons, social, and cultural events were a great medium for me to interact with the Flatiron community and experience the company culture.

Hear from our apprentices

From day 1 of the apprenticeship program, I felt like a full-time engineer. I was thrown in right away, and was given ownership and responsibilities on projects which allowed me to learn fast and grow to become the engineer that I am today. I couldn't have asked for anything more than to have been given the opportunity to get after it everyday which Flatiron provided.
