Pros
  • Salary and benefits are amazing.
  • Ethical company; you will not have to defend yourself for your employer.
  • Nicely equipped office; all necessary devices are provided.
  • Family-friendly environment.
  • Plenty of means to learn.
Cons

As a student in their bachelor's, I felt quite alone. I was set aside to work on a project next to the main product, with very vague requirements. Lacking project-management know-how, I went ahead on my own and created something. More guidance would have made many lessons quicker to learn. Unfortunately, I was barely involved in the team because of this.

Advice to Management

Make sure to look into what your interns are doing every now and then, and maybe pull them off a project if it gets out of hand. Integration into the regular scrum team might really be easier than setting up your own architecture while barely knowing the main one.
