Loved the people! Everyone is young at the company and they make sure their interns have a great experience. Location in Manhattan is also awesome.

What I liked
I loved the people at Yext because they're always really helpful and willing to share their experiences with you. The recruiters are also great and they organized a bunch of intern activities throughout the summer that helped our intern class bond and have fun. The office also provides lots of benefits like free food, snacks, and drinks as well as games to play during lunch which made everything so much better. Definitely a great experience.
What I wish was different
I relied a little too heavily on my manage to help solve some issues with working with client data, so that likely contributed to my not getting a return offer.
Advice
Get to know the people in the office, bond with your fellow interns, eat lunch with them, play games with them, spend time outside of work with them. The people are really what made this experience amazing.

What I liked
I loved the whole experience learning about web development and building client sites, working with some amazing and smart people, and also having a side project to work on throughout the summer. Working with new and somewhat unfamiliar technologies and languages forced me to learn how to pick up ideas and concepts quickly, which was a lot of fun.
