Great Access, But Approach with Caution
Great Access, But Approach with Caution
- Access to the full factory and various teams.
- Teams are very accustomed to interns.
- Potential for project ownership if you intern for long enough.
- Teams and managers might be full of ego and BS.
- Housing support is not provided and can be tough to find.
- It's not easy to network with other teams; be smart about it.
- Poor interviews; most teams only do one 30-minute screen, which is not enough to find the best candidates.
Don't rescind offers, help with housing, take better interviews. One 30-minute interview is not enough. I've seen a lot of random people get in.
