Great employee interactions and a friendly working atmosphere between teams and leaders. Most were very open when talking about future opportunities or insider knowledge regarding lifestyle and how the current work being done by interns affects the rest of the teams.

As the 2019 summer internship program was offered to many students across all offices, there was a lot that went unplanned. Specifically, some of the interns got the short end of the stick and were not sent to teams that had prepared any work or projects for them to have throughout the summer. Some of these leaders were fairly distant with their interns and were not providing assistance to make their summer worthwhile in terms of both the interns providing value to the company and the leaders in showing the interns how working for the company could be in a positive light.

Human Resources was hard to reach out to during the internship regarding things such as graduation dates for job turnover and other things along those lines. Towards the end of the internship, many things were hectic, as the interns and the leaders were both fairly unsure of how return offers were handled internally. Perhaps keeping the interns in on the conversation about these things would be beneficial so that they could not be as worried regarding their offers and their work done.
