Pros

People are great to work with.

Pay is good.

Cons

No proper planning of requirements before assigning a project to an intern straight out from college.

If there is no planning and also limited time is given, as an intern, there is no proper opportunity to prove yourself completely.

Given dependent project team members who must help, they feel they are not responsible and don't offer help when asked.

Changing the requirement plan as they wish, even in the last minute.

Even if it is taken to the manager, they say unrealistic things.

After joining, work becomes life.

Instead of lifting up a person, they ignore and don't care about anything.

No appreciation for the work done.

No concern about what's going on, even though it is told.

They ask you to be independent if you seek out for help.

They tell you that you are over-independent if you are independent.

Advice to Management

Do proper planning on what should be given.

As the learning curve is already high, without proper planning, it gets very difficult to work, and it creates a lot of confusion.

It might just be a project and intern in your team, but for that person, it could be a lot more than that. Everyone works hard to be where they are.
