Pros

Interns get flexibility and full ownership of the project they are given for the internship.

Your work is usually shipped and hence (mostly) not throw-away work.

It is ensured one has all the equipment one needs for development before the job starts.

  • Excellent compensation
  • Excellent developers
Cons

• They need to provide interns with more swag items.

• The ownership principle acts as a con, as there is no spoon-feeding or basic feeding. Unless you go and ask, nobody will tell you.

• At times, it can get stressful with training and work.

• Inconsistency on projects and evaluation for different teams.

Advice to Management
  • Add some extra perks for full-time employees and interns.
