Great Intern Experience
Great Intern Experience
Management and full-timers are all very welcoming. While most are busy from day to day, the majority are eager to help interns. Almost without exception, the managers have been very receptive to ideas, advice, and criticism.
The intern projects are all real and valued projects, working alongside full-timers and their development teams to create something that will be used inside the company and/or for the client.
For most interns, there is not a lot of freedom to be creative.
With the exception of IBM's enormous production of patents, there is not a lot of focus on innovative or creative projects, work, or ideas.
Some may be paired with projects that are outside your interests.
A better job could be done of pairing interns with projects that suit their interests and skills. Maybe personalized side projects, alongside exploration into other areas of the business unit, could be implemented to allow more creativity if it can't be found in one's own project.
