Pros

Did two internships here. First internship, I had a pretty bad time and only returned since I didn't find anywhere else. I enjoyed my second summer much, much more, though.

It really is just what you make of it. The projects they give can often be quite boring and not very interesting, but once they know you are competent enough you can start to get much more interesting work. Culture is very lax and overall the WLB is extremely good.

Cons
  • Work they give can sometimes be boring with not much to learn from.
  • Documentation and code quality can sometimes be very lacking
  • If you don't make a proper effort to get to know people, you probably won't have a good time.
  • Compensation is not amazing
Advice to Management

Better establish roles of manager/buddy/tech lead to intern and make those roles more defined. For early careers team: put more effort into early careers events for interns. Stop caring about all the events needing to be online and just make them in-person; trying to get Manchester and Cambridge people to interact simply is never going to work well.
