Interns are treated well, but the work given could have been a little more challenging

Pros

Very good office community.

Benefits are excellent, even for a low-level engineer.

Interns receive paid vacation hours.

Social networking among fellow employees is a plus.

Cons

Work wasn't challenging enough, though to be fair, not a lot of big projects can be assigned for a 3-month internship. A lot of projects are done at a very slow pace.

Not a lot of innovation is going on in the commercial airliner side (at least that I have seen).

Also, I wasn't able to start doing actual real work until two weeks into the internship, when I finally got set up with a workstation and was able to access all the online training. (Way too much red tape.)

Advice to Management

More can be done to fit an engineer's skills and talents with an office that requires those skills and talents. I would have liked to dive into the work a bit faster. Less red tape would have been nice.
