Intern Blog: "Achievo Love"

This post is from our Intern Blog series where our summer interns write about their experience working at Achievo.

"Achievo Love." That is what you would call it here. Instead of saying we have good "company culture," it'd be more accurate to just call us a family. Nestled away in the heart of Milpitas, California, the Achievo Corporation Headquarters houses a dozen or so of us. Ranging widely in age groups, we are almost like generations in your family tree, though some of the ones closer to the top might beg to be blissfully ignorant of the fact (ahem). It is because of this structure, though, that we've naturally developed a warm and laid-back way of caring for each other. Burn your hand, and our lovely Mary will conjure up an aloe plant to cool your aching flesh, but also to warm your heart. Got car troubles? Ellis will make sure you get home safely. Hungry? We've got a fridge full of ice cream and a cabinet full of treats. The abundance of store-bought snacks aside, some of us even regularly bring in freshly picked fruit from their backyards, home-made cakes, and other delicious decadents aimed to, as our boss tells it, "fatten us up."  How very fatherly, right?

First Memories at Achievo

Hi. My name is Tishiana Mann. I am a rising junior at the University of California, Berkeley and a Sales & Marketing intern this summer at Achievo Corporation.

I have worked at Achievo for about a month now. I am having a great time so far and feel like I am learning a ton about B2B marketing, the tech industry, as well as life in general.

Here are some of my favorite memories with Achievo:

1. Meeting the other interns and the rest of the office. Everyone at Achievo is very welcoming and friendly!
