Besides, they will send you some swag items, and you get a discount on specific items on Amazon.com. - Exposure, as your intern project might require you to reach out to other teams. Nevertheless, you will need to present the final outcome not only to your team but possibly to your whole department. - Assuming you completed your intern project well, bagging a return offer is highly likely.
