Fine, but not the right fit for me

Pros

My coworkers were very helpful. I was new and had a lot of questions, and they were always very patient with me.

Cons

I can't speak to the company broadly or what it's like to be full-time, but as a co-op intern under my manager specifically, it felt like he wasn't prepared to have a co-op intern.

Tasks felt pretty spontaneous and disconnected, without a lot of teaching overall, instead of discrete projects over which I could take complete or partial ownership with advice as I went along.

Probably just different learning styles, but it wasn't for me.

Advice to Management

Have more orientation material/programs to teach stuff to your co-ops, and maybe have some dedicated individual projects to give them ownership of.
