Pros
  • Very developed with tons of programs and courses
  • Clear expectations
  • State-of-the-art business practices and technologies
Cons
  • Kind of culty.
  • Somewhat homogenous.
  • Intern projects can be very low impact or boring.
  • Experiences can vary significantly for interns.
Advice to Management

Set more detailed specifications for the programming projects given to interns to ensure they can feel as though they are making an impact or are interested in their projects. Tone down the "kool-aid" pushing. It can be off-putting for people who don’t want their identity to be tied up completely in the company they work for.
