Intel

• Free housing in dormitory
• Food (3 spots on-site)
• Private medical full-cover
• Friendly atmosphere
• Day meetings (however, cons: often too long and too detailed)

• Plenty of HR-kind courses, exams, tests...

At least one week of meetings and tests about "Code of Conduct" before I was able to start coding. And that wasn't all.

• Working outside a team in a room with other interns from different projects.

• Everything is so formal. To get a power supply cable or one more screen, you need to raise a ticket in the system and wait at least a few hours.

• Salary.

• Quite low average knowledge/experience of full-timers, which makes it hard to gain new experience even as an intern.

• Seldom deployment of projects, which makes it hard to stay motivated.

1. Skip "Code of conduct" meeting, tests, etc., at least for 3-month interns. Those surveys don't make sense; even full-timers claimed that.

2. Deploy faster to see results and develop faster. Do not pick mentors who plan holidays during intern time (1 month of absence during a 3-month internship is a lot for an intern with few privileges).
