Work is great, but intern experience is lacking

Pros

The work is great fun!

As an intern, I'm working with my team and contributing to production code. I am definitely enjoying my work (although I could use a full desk...).

Cons

The intern experience is absolutely abysmal. We have some good events, like lunches with executives, but no weekend activities, hackathons, or anything really. We'll be going to a Giants game, which should be good, but I get the impression our intern coordinators think of us as a burden. Luckily, the work is awesome, and there are lots of non-intern events to go to. It's just not the software company intern experience I was expecting.

Advice to Management

Get the Futureforce team to really change their approach to interns.

I can't believe Salesforce is the most innovative company, and yet the intern program is an absolute joke!
