Pros

It looks good on your resume.

Cons

Little guidance, a super steep learning curve, unrealistic expectations. Team members ignore you and don't show up for scheduled meetings. You're basically left to learn everything on your own, and when you reach out for help, none is given. Definitely would not recommend for a first-time internship. I hated it here.

There's also really bad communication overall. There's also no work-life balance. I would start working around 7 in the morning, stop around 6 p.m., start working again around 10 p.m., and stop around 3 a.m. It was exhausting.

Advice to Management

Pay attention to your interns; don't push them to the side. They are there to learn and gain experience. Help them.
