GrabFood internship honest review (2024)

by Taufiq Hakim·February 28, 2026

Just wrapped up my 4-month internship at Grab (food team) and wanted to write a real review since most I found online were generic.

What I worked on: Actual features that shipped. I owned a small dashboard project from design to deployment. Was not just fetching coffee.

Mentoring: Had a dedicated buddy who was a senior SWE. Had regular 1:1s. Genuinely felt supported.

Pay: RM2,000/month for a tech intern. Higher than most.

Culture: Collaborative and quite flat for a company this size. Regional meetings so you get exposure to teams in SG, ID, etc.

Down sides: It's busy. The pace can feel overwhelming if you're not comfortable with ambiguity. Also, the intern cohort itself was competitive, not toxic, but everyone was trying to make an impression.

Converted? Applied for a full-time role, waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed.

RM2,000 for an intern is genuinely good. Most places here still offer RM800–1,200. Grab clearly values their interns. Hope you get converted, sounds like a great experience.

The 'competitive but not toxic' intern cohort is a real thing at tech companies. Everyone's trying to impress but you also need to genuinely make friends, those connections pay off down the line.

I interned at Grab too (different team, 2023). The buddy system is real and genuinely helpful. Some teams are better than others at onboarding interns, sounds like you had a good one.
