Pros

I thought the internship project was very interesting and had a lot of room for individual direction. Each of the software engineering interns was entrusted with devising a new domain for the voice assistant. It was very open-ended, and we were given the ability to be ambitious.

Cons

I hoped to pick up some more general software engineering skills from the internship. While I did get some generally useful skills, like reasoning about the best design pattern for a given problem, I felt as if a lot of the particular skills I built up for the internship were not that generally applicable. This was since so much of it was proprietary design patterns with their in-house language.
