Intuit

Intuit really cares about their interns. Apart from spoiling us with fun social events, the Intern Summit, and lunch events with great speakers, they place a huge emphasis on learning. Whenever I present what I'm working on, I am asked what I am learning through that project. Learning first, product second.

Intuit also cares about giving back. They always talk about helping small businesses around the world, and I get paid for volunteering. And best of all, Intuit offers work-life balance. When I leave the office a little late, like 6 PM, the parking garage is nearly empty. That is a good sign!

I am a commuter and live at my parents' home. Most of the interns live in corporate housing with corporate cars, all for free. Sometimes I feel like I am at a disadvantage. I do not get those expensive perks, and I do not know the other interns very well. Additionally, I am the only intern on my team, which has been a bummer.
