The rEvolution Summer Development League program set the standard for how I hope to be treated, supported, and challenged by managers in coworkers in future career endeavors. I would recommend this program over and over again. This summer will always hold a special place in my heart because of the incredible rEvolution staff and interns I was lucky enough to spend every day with.
