Pros

Facilities, flexible work hours, freedom.

Cons

Manager doesn't meet enough.

My work was not properly evaluated.

My manager was obsessed with the theoretical aspects rather than the practical implementation of my project.

Information regarding PPO was conveyed to us very late, nearly three weeks after the end of the internship.

Advice to Management

Interns should get to meet up more with their managers, and their code should be evaluated, which was not done in my case. My manager wasn't really concerned about my project and used to ask me questions on other random stuff. PPO decisions should be communicated faster. I got to know 3 weeks after the completion of my internship. Furthermore, when an intern is not given a PPO, the reason behind that should be communicated back to us.
