I really enjoyed working with Safe-Esteem and Filippo Marino CEO. The project primarily focused on data collection, cleaning, and validation, so as someone focusing on a career in data analytics it was the perfect fit for my skillset. I also appreciated that Filippo took the time to really explain the company’s mission and goals, and how our project would fit into the bigger picture. It never felt like I was just plugging away at a spreadsheet, and I enjoyed the research related to the data collection. It was nice to expand my horizons and learn about new countries, how they are impacted by crime, what their policing systems and governments are like, and how current events shape criminal activity. I would agree with the company’s description, that having an interest and some skill in foreign languages can be really beneficial for this project, as you are often exploring data/news sources in other languages. Aside from the project itself, Filippo was wonderful to work with and made himself readily available to provide guidance and support. I would highly recommend Safe-Esteem to anyone considering interning with them!
