Here’s some feedback from some of our former QuIP recruits
“I discovered Quantum Consumer Solutions during my gap year. I wanted to work in an environment where creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork came together seamlessly; the fact that Quantum takes a cultural lens made it even more special. At Quantum, you will meet some of the most friendly, charismatic, and intelligent people in a non-hierarchical, generative workplace. You instantly become a part of the team, carrying your weight in fieldwork, ideation discussions, proposal writing, and debriefs. You also become a part of a community of people who genuinely care about you and want to help you succeed. It's an experience unlike any other; I have learned so much about myself and my capabilities after working at Quantum. Interning here was a wonderful launchpad for me to learn about my career goals and maximise my university experience going forward. Hopefully, I'll be back soon again!”
“My internship at Quantum was one of the few I did right after college. I had no prior experience in the working world. Working at Quantum was an excellent experience for me as I developed a great work ethic and learned to balance it with some fun. The team was very focused and hardworking, with a very encouraging work environment. I learned first-hand the kind of time, and attention research takes and its impact on many aspects of everyday life. Also, a great memory for me is the evening dance sessions I conducted at Quantum, which helped all of us let loose and enjoy ourselves. It was a great learning environment and with a great group of people, and I still carry those learnings with me.”
"Interning at Quantum has been one of the best career choices I have made. As an anthropology major whose budding aspiration is to do cultural research for brands and organizations, Quantum’ strong qualitative research ethos and wide exposure to renowned global brands meant that there was always an exciting project on my plate every day. At Quantum, the highly collaborative team dynamic allowed me to contribute meaningfully to projects in ways beyond the level of a normal internship. I had an empowering experience co-writing slide decks for clients, bouncing insights back and forth with my colleagues, and gaining experience in commercial research methods like semiotics. The team at Quantum are kind, passionate and brilliant and I had such a great time that I returned for a second internship the following year! I would highly recommend the Quantum internship experience as it has built up my foundation in product design and marketing strategy, bringing me closer to my career goals."
