Pros

Really good for those who are looking for their first IT internships. Google helped with visa and other relocation documents. Friendly people who treat you with respect. Food, events for interns.

Cons

It's really hard to understand what you're signing up for. Your project might be entirely different by the time you come to the internship.

On my first internship, I was lucky to be part of a project that I was interested in. The second one was not so lucky; I was mainly fixing bugs and refactoring because there was not much else to do on that project.

Advice to Management

Ask future mentors for more detailed descriptions of intern projects.

Let interns know that their future projects were changed.
