Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was not expecting to be called out in the interview as not even being in my field.
Just because it's not what you are looking for doesn't mean I am not a professional or a SME in my industry.

Pros: The amount of things you could learn in 3 months could be more than you have learned thus far.
Especially depending on the team, your actions will be formed by the leadership principles. So if the LPs don't resonate with you, be warned.
Cons: Fragility is very apparent in the culture, so don't expect the bells and whistles from other companies.
Depending on your location, you may not have the ability to make the deepest connections (the opposite is true in Sacramento).
Intern salary is paid by making monthly into yearly salary, so you won't get exactly what is promised (if it's promised as a monthly pay).
