Pros
- co-workers were very friendly and outgoing - interns were treated respectfully by upper management (not necessarily by your manager though) - intern program work was meaningful, all of us had individual projects that had significant impact on the company - great for the work experience, but would not work there full-time
Kontras
- barely any diversity - lack of corporate social responsibility, no recycling, no corporate wide community service - company is very stingy, the offices are cheap and ugly. I never had office supplies and had to hoard them from other people. There wasn't a community office supply cabinet. - managers and employees stretched too thin, I never saw my manager while working as an intern, which is frustrating because I could never ask him questions. - terrible communication between groups, lots of duplicate projects and resources being wasted - low rewards for hard work, pay is LOW - for being an IT intern, business technology lacked behind industry standard. We were still using MS Office 2003 and finally installed an internal search engine when I was there - business was ran poorly by upper management, you can tell the company grew too fast and it still feels like management tries to run it like a small company, but very unorganized
