Pros

The phone interview is simple and fairly easy. Do your research on the company beforehand, and you'll be just fine. The internship included several opportunities to network inside and outside of the company.

Cons

The company has many teams, and most available tasks are too complicated for interns to handle. The internship mainly consisted of busywork and paperwork.

During the internship, I got to see how the management operated. I disagreed with their treatment of women compared to the men. Salaries also suspiciously weighed more towards the men than women. I also found that many of the employees had to stay and work overtime but were not compensated for the extra time.

Advice to Management

Be better prepared for the interns and have valuable tasks that will improve their engineering skills rather than comprehension.

Broaden your inclusion. The diversity of employees is clearly seen, but the respect and inclusion of all people is lacking.

Hire more people from within the company. These employees work very hard day to day, and that doesn't appear to be recognized.
