Engineering Internship Scheme not great

Engineering intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Possibility of travel Some nice people Flexible working hours Plenty of work socials

Cons

- Engineering work outsourced to suppliers, so the role was hardly an engineering one at all. Not challenging, not stimulating. - A very male dominated office. - The staff who were responsible for interns had a "no nonsense" attitude, but made very little effort to engage and involve interns within the company. They wanted us to prove ourselves, but offered very little in return. - The company is cutting back on projects and development, making it hard to believe that there will be any good opportunities for a former intern returning as a graduate.
