Previous Intern Testimonials
"The internship experience provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the business development process and the intricacies of the e-commerce industry. I had the opportunity to work with a team of professionals who were not only knowledgeable, but also passionate about staying at the forefront of industry trends. The mentorship and guidance I received from my colleagues and supervisors were instrumental in my professional growth." -Brian Chung, Business Development Intern (2023)
"With the amazing support from the BDR and sales team I learned how to communicate directly with clients, research accounts effectively, create value propositions, and prospect new contacts. Signifyd helped me develop networking and communication skills beyond what I ever could have imagined. I was able to work on account maps, prospecting, cold calling, emailing, company profiles, account vetting, a vertical cheat sheet, and an analysis of the Adobe campaign results. The environment that managers and upper level executives have created within Signifyd is one of support, diversity, respect, and openness. I left this summer with new communication, time management, professional, and sales skills due to the amazing people at Signifyd who helped me grow into a confident, knowledgeable intern." -Caroline Mitchem, Business Development Intern (2023)
