Pros

Besides the customer-oriented values, not much.

Cons

I was assigned a project for a product that was not only very poorly described but also useless. I found out at the end of my internship that the product was no longer going to be used.

My mentor was on holiday for the first few weeks and did not have much time for the project anyway. Nobody actually helped me.

All the people in the team only helped if I was going to praise them during the daily stand-up. Basically, I wasted my time there, learning close to nothing useful.

Advice to Management

Spend more time in choosing projects for interns and meet with the mentors more often to see if they are actually doing their job properly.
