Original Post: Charissa’s Semgrep internship experience
The content details a personal account by Charissa Kim, who joined the startup Semgrep as an intern after having experience with the federal government and tech giants like Google. Initially apprehensive due to common stereotypes about startups, such as intense work hours and fewer perks, she found her time at Semgrep to defy these misconceptions. The recruitment process was positive, and the work culture was supportive with a balanced workload, flexible hours, and perks like an on-demand lunch service.
Her internship involved significant projects in cybersecurity, including maintaining SOC-2 compliance and preparing for GDPR compliance, which required creating comprehensive data catalogs and implementing cookie consent services. The experience allowed her to grow both personally and professionally and debunked myths about startup life.
Charissa concludes by sharing her excitement about accepting a full-time role at Semgrep as a Security Technical Program Manager. She also provides a humorous note about containing her excitement throughout the blog post and encourages readers to follow Semgrep on social media for more insights into life as an intern.
