<aside> ✨ As the saying goes, joining a high-growth start-up is like flying a rocket ship whilst you’re still building it.
At Virtual Internships, one of our core operating principles is transparency, so we thought that if you’re interested in joining our rocket ship 🚀 then we should show you a little more about what #LifeAtVI is like.
We have been inspired by other public guides/handbooks, and as such, we created this living document to help you better understand who we are, how we operate, and what to expect if you apply, or even better, join us here at VI! 😁
**Why have we called it the “VI-P” Guide? ****Well, it has lots of meanings! One is that the ‘VIP’ is you, another is that it stands for Virtual Internships People, or maybe even Visitors Information Pack …we could go on and on! Got any others?
