Pros

- Management allows you the autonomy to contribute at your own pace with your own ideas. - Cross functional experiences with groups inside and outside your designated department. - Fantastic development programs such as resume building, intern lunches with VPs/former interns, etc. - Assigned a manager and an individual contributor for mentorship throughout the program

Cons

- Your projects are likely low priority. Thus it is often hard to gather the information needed from key stakeholders (full-time employees are very busy). - Little orientation on things needed in individual departement/job role e.g. jargon, acronyms, daily responsibilities.
