Choose the position carefully
A great company to put on the resume.
Gets attention of future employers.
Great networking opportunity.
Great place to get a sense of what the software industry is all about.
If you can manage to choose a team whose work actually interests you, the learning experience will be great. Otherwise, the experience will be very dull.
A lot of boring grunt work overall. If you are looking to get a great learning experience in terms of technical aspects, an IBM internship will not provide it. The tasks given can be done well by a high school graduate with software-related aspirations.
Even though most interns will not be subjected to it, you get to learn about corporate politics, and it's not a pretty picture.
Try to differentiate between big talkers and actual achievers who may be silent.
