Where You Will Work    

 

Our Collaboration Hub in the Warehouse District of New Orleans, Louisiana, serves as an important location for our global support groups, including investor relations, accounting and finance, engineering, marketing, human resources, communications, and information technology. Our hybrid internship program allows interns to work virtually as well as come together in person regularly at our NOLA Collaboration Hub and/or our site locations. Interns participating in our internship work program will be expected to live within a reasonable commuting distance – 50 miles one-way – of the NOLA Collaboration Hub to ensure availability when meeting attendance/collaboration is needed. Interns living more than 50 miles away would be required to relocate and would be eligible for travel and housing assistance. The Hub is located inside a beautiful historic building and provides office space, meeting rooms, kitchen and dining space, phone booths, and technology tools for virtual and in-person collaboration. New Orleans is a popular tourist destination known for its rich history, architecture, cultural arts, music, and cuisine.
