Pros: It was a great learning experience, with smooth onboarding. I learned a lot from team members, and they were open to answering questions or assisting me and bringing me to the right line of thinking/approach. My manager was exceedingly helpful; he's incredibly good at what he does. Honestly, a great team, very talented, and everyone there has a strong skill set to back them up. I would have loved to continue working there.

Cons: I didn't get a FT offer after this internship because my mentor spent no time explaining procedures to me, which was all I really needed. He was caught up in personal problems and thus unhelpful and unreceptive. By the time my manager realized that my mentor had basically abandoned me, it was too late. I had done all the projects I was tasked with, but there was no trail of my work because I wasn't made aware of the procedure to be followed. I would recommend finding someone on your team who is receptive and helpful to go through exactly what is required of you in your first two-three weeks and the exact steps and procedures you need to follow.

Pros: Nice coworkers and generally helpful people all around.

Cons: Managers feel disconnected from interns.

Pros: Flexibility among teams and supervisors.

Cons: Yearly retrenchment system; no job security.
