Pros

L'ambiente è stimolante e di crescita.

Cons

Purtroppo il programma di internship avviato da qualche anno non comporta quasi mai alla conversione a trainee. Nel peggiore dei casi infatti si viene riconfermati come intern per altri 4/6 mesi per poi essere mandati a casa, il tutto a 1000€ al mese, per circa 60/65 ore di lavoro settimanali.
