Pros

Mostly smart workers. Decent managers. Good salary.

Cons

Some interns are given projects that nobody really cares about or will use.

To a minor level: the perks. Personally, it's not about the money saved from free lunch, but the nice gesture and message this sends about caring about your employees. Look at Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Advice to Management

Consider putting more time into compiling various projects to give to interns as options. I have seen that only a subset of the interns get this privilege. Some are really screwed over and end up disliking their project, which they really have to work on for over two months.
