What I liked

There are many different aspects of Buddi that are just great! First off, the community aspect of it is very welcoming. Everyone I have met so far has been helpful and has similar career goals as me. Buddi has also strengthened many of my skills such as communication, team-building, and researching. Overall, Buddi is an excellent place to work for!

What I wish was different

The only thing I could possibly say I would change is when the app is released. I am so excited for it to be available on app stores for general use, and for others to see how helpful Buddi for Psych is.

Advice

A piece of advice I would give is to manage your time efficiently. Although Buddi is very flexible, it is important to put time aside to understand the material given and to strengthen the skills being taught.

What I liked

I love the support given by all of the people involved. Once I joined, I felt immediately welcomed by the workers here at Buddi. They're so understanding of your schedule and will be very accommodating with room for flexibility.

What I wish was different

I wish that the app were out of course, but I believe that the amount of effort and time being put into it is just going to make it as great as it can possibly be. I'm so excited to see the impact that this makes on so many individuals!

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is communication is definitely key. Like I mentioned before, the people here at Buddi are extremely understanding. Just like any other job, make sure to communicate if you're having any struggles or are confused with how anything is supposed to be done. This will only help make the process easier for you!

What I liked

I like that Buddi is an App that was made to assist with mental health in not only college students but everyone. The team is very friendly and helpful every step of the way.

What I wish was different

I wish that the App was released already so that everyone could receive the assistance that they need. It has been a long time coming for the app but I am very excited for it to be released soon.

Advice

I would say that the team is helpful. If you need assistance or you can’t make it due to prior commitments just communicate it. Give the opportunity a try because you don’t know what doors it could truly open for you.

What I liked

Buddi is organized and makes expectations as well as tasks and deadlines very clear. I love that though it has high expectations for all its employers and interns, it is a low stress environment that prioritizes the wellness of its personnel. Since the work is virtual, it makes working on tasks and assignments easier as you can cater to your own schedule and needs.

What I wish was different

I would've liked more information about my day-to-day duties prior to beginning so that I knew exactly what to expect.

Advice

Don't be shy to reach out if you're confused or have any questions! Everyone at Buddi is here to help you navigate your experience and to better understand what's asked of you.

What I liked

I enjoy being a part of a community of like-minded individuals who are striving to create a welcoming space for those who struggle with mental health. I believe community and belonging are vital in coping with a mental illness, in addition to education to understand what the disorder is and how it affects people. The directors are efficient communicators who truly make an effort to assist the interns.

What I wish was different

I would not change a thing about the current operations of Buddi. I am excited for the app to launch and be able to put into action the skills that we have been taught/practicing. I believe the software released will be a large stepping stone in the access to affordable mental health care.

Advice

This experience is an amazing first step into the psychology field as most research opportunities and advanced internships desire prior experience. Working with Buddi will supply you with soft skills in handling conflict conversations, a better understanding of disorders and how to spot them, and experience with basic psychology research.

What I liked

Buddi is very flexible with your schedule. Buddi is also a great community filled with college students who share similar interest as you. There is a lot of team building exercises and individual work as well.

What I wish was different

I wish the app was out! So I can start helping others, but the fact it is taking so long shows the effort and time being put into this app and how great it is going to be.

Advice

When working for Buddi make sure you give yourself time to complete the assignments given. Being a college student, who also works and is doing this internship can be a lot of work and overwhelming. But once you have time management and productive habits you are able to manage all three and have a really good time with this internship.

What I liked

Buddi For Psych is an amazing opportunity that everyone should apply for. It is extremely collaborative and supportive. The company culture is all about mental health and being there for one another. The administration is very clear on what is expected from everyone and they check in on all their employees making you feel appreciated and welcomed into their company. You get to work with other members during the weekly meetings which means that you meet and network with new people all the time. Another bonus is that you gain more insight into different mental health problems because the administration goes over a disorder each meeting making sure that we are all informed and we also do Psychology research on topics we are interested in. This has been by far one of the best jobs I have been part of!

What I wish was different

I honestly would not change a thing. The company is very adaptable to your needs and is understanding about situations you may be going through. They just ask that you communicate with them which is a big plus because you do feel cared for.

Advice

I would recommend for everyone to apply! This has been an incredible experience and it is very manageable even with a busy schedule. You will make so many new connections and learn about topics you are passionate about. I recommend for people to be themselves during the interview. The company just wants to get to know each member and they relate to experiences you go through. Everyone here is passionate about mental health and it is more like a family than a job.

Campus Ambassador & Buddi for Psych Intern

September 2023 • Tallahassee, FL

What I liked

I love working for Buddi because it is so flexible. I can do my work from home on my own time throughout the week. There are weekly meetings which are super useful to help me understand my tasks for the week and to set expectations for the employees. The team is super supportive and understanding.

What I wish was different

I wish the app was released because I am so excited for it to launch! However, the amount of time taken to release the app will be reflected in its high quality performance once released.

Advice

A piece of advice I would say is to allocate your time correctly to make sure you are completing your tasks by the time it is due every week. It is important to allocate time especially with doing school work as well.
