Pros

It's a job and you get paid.

Cons

Management shows up to about 20% of your scheduled meetings, often while they're driving or grocery shopping (believe me, I wish this was fake).

A lot of Sr. Engineers take 2+ months off during summer, right as summer interns show up, leaving Jr. engineers with one day's notice.

Advice to Management

Plan ahead. Provide documents of specifications for the applications you want us to build. Give us more than one day's notice for interns. Let us know if you're not going to make the scheduled meeting.
