“Working at Quetzal taught me a lot of lessons - about life, work and myself. It is astounding to see the commitment, enthusiasm and perseverance with which the Quetzal team works - a feverish enthusiasm that you cant help but imbibe! It was in the cabins of Quetzal that I understood the nuances of professionalism, sharpened my negotiation skills, learnt to plan every detail ahead of time, work in a team, inculcate creative problem solving techniques - enjoying every moment of the learning process. My 2 month internship at Quetzal is one I shall look back with fondness as the touchstone of my work ethics. Thank you Quetzal!”

"Quetzal was an amazing learning experience. The work culture and freedom at the place seriously made it a summer to remember. Also, the character of the founders and their vision forced me to rethink my future path of life and gave me the courage to at least think big. Quetzal had, has and will always have a huge impact on my approach towards life. I wish Quetzal a great success and hope it achieves greater heights in the years to come."

“I would like to make highlight a couple of points, apart from the fact that - Quetzal is a great place, fun to work, intellectual minds around you, best advice/mentorship you get etc. and they are:
"I have found it pleasantly surprising at how much my friends could achieve in what should be rightly termed as 'Institution Building' in such a short span of less than a year. 
Despite having a constant stream of entrepreneurs flowing through the firm, the Star culture is evident across any process handled by a Quetzalite". 
With a well defined and ingenious framework designed by the founders, it is only a matter of time before Quetzal starts to achieve what it is set out to and I would welcome any opportunity to be part of that success story again."

“The time spent at Quetzal was exhilarating to say the least. I could experience business first hand, and actually see my work converting into money, which is very difficult to experience in any other organisation. The environment at Quetzal is alive with brilliant ideas and discussions on them. Learning is not only encouraged but also facilitated through various programs. The thought and efforts put in by the promoters in making the organisation are unmatched and will lead to it becoming the greatest firm in near future. The two months at Quetzal were like the icing on the top of the cake baked at IIMA. Would be back there soon!!! “

“A wonderful, enriching experience! The amount of trust that was invested in me and the amount of independence that was given were incredibly more than that are normally expected. A vast range of experiences ranging from independently shaping up the processes and managing database to managing the client to managing a team of my own – Quetzal gave me the opportunity to try it out all in a very short span of time in an upcoming field like Recruitment Process Outsourcing. A team of highly motivated and exceptionally thinking individuals, success is the least that they deserve.”

“I would call my experience at Quetzal, a turning point in my life. At Quetzal, the self discovery that I made in two months, was more than what I had made in, at least, a few years. These people believe in you and hence, make you believe in yourself. Apart from hands-on training in the areas of professionalism and negotiation, Quetzal gave me a grass-root level exposure to decision making, trouble-shooting and operations in the corporate world.

"My internship experience at Quetzal is ineffable, truly amazing. Worked independently on projects and learned good management practices through them. One thing that really differentiates it from others is the excellent mentorship provided by Quetzal management team.

“I was totaly amazed at the responsibilities an intern was given in Quetzal. Interns were treated as equal to any other member of Quetzal.
Unlike the "fancy" companies, where an interns "say" would hardly count, its highly commendable that Quetzal entrusts its interns with huge responsibilties.
The flexibilty in work culture, the freedom to do anything we want to and the brilliant atmosphere around are a few of the many-best things about Quetzal. Cant ever forget my first-corporate experience”
