COMPANY TESTIMONIALS

"Our interns have actually surpassed and exceeded all our expectations of what we expect from an intern. From our experience, we have now had the luxury of understanding what it is to operate cross culture, across many nationalities and evolve Hubba into a much more international company."

"The GEIP is a very powerful option for not just the student, but also for the employer. If the students are of a very good quality, it is also a reflection of the employer. It is a programme where I believe the students have the opportunity to show what they are capable of."

"Startups, even though they seem like a very loose environment have to work in the utmost professionalism. So for me, startups need to look at the best value, the best students that they can actually get, the best access. This programme is one of the best things they can reach out to."

"My biggest takeaway from working with Singapore interns is they have strong professionalism. I feel the youths nowadays are so creative. They are young and good at lifting up the morale in the workplace. I feel this characteristic in them is very special and valuable in the current unsettling startup scene in China."

"I would think that Singapore students are particularly young and energetic. At the same time, they have a mind of their own. Their perspective of looking at the problem is very different, making our entire process more professional."

"These interns are different from the interns in China. Basically, they start to get involved directly, and can contribute straight away. I personally think that the mindset of these interns is different compared to the Chinese culture. They are ready for the workplace: their language, their way of thinking, their execution methods are efficient."
