Pros

My 10-week-long experience at Target must have been one of the best internship program experiences in the Twin Cities.

I was placed on a new team building an application from the ground up, so I experienced different levels of the iterative application development cycle.

Both my manager and mentor were awesome!

Cons

Experience was team-based.

Some interns were placed in fields of computer science that they didn't desire to work in (e.g., back-end, infrastructure, security).

My advice would be to hire for those specific team types.

The program was also quite short. Separating the number of interns into two waves of 12+ weeks could work with scheduling and be more desirable.
