Internships

MCD's internship program is an opportunity for college students or post-graduate adults to gain career-related work experience. Our internships are paid, full-time positions that span 12 weeks or longer. See all our current openings.

Co-ops

A co-op is a type of required internship where college students gain paid, full-time work experience to fulfill their educational curriculum. Depending on your individual course of study, the length of your co-op can range anywhere from one summer to two semesters + two summers. See our Rochester Co-op Program page.

What you'll get to do

Whether you're passionate about web design, technology, user experience or copy, we have some great opportunities for you.

Both interns and co-op students will be assigned a senior-level manager who will work with you daily, be accessible for questions and help you develop your specific skill set. In addition to being responsible for your own project deliverables, you'll attend cross-functional internal working sessions, client reviews and presentations.

No matter your career path, MCD internships and co-ops offer a wealth of learning opportunites from some of the very best and brightest in the industry.

Our Company Culture

MCD is a close-knit unit that is constantly adapting to an ever-changing digital landscape in order to provide the best solutions for our clients and their customers. And while we work hard, #agencylife wouldn't be any fun without time to unwind.

We celebrate our hard work with happy hours, birthday celebrations, and regular company outings like movie night! MCD offers a fridge stocked with free drinks, as well as one of the biggest snack pantries in Manhattan.
