Pros

Compensation package, know-how, international environment, complexity of engineering problems challenging.

Cons

Political decisions, lack of business engineering tools, too many management levels, old-timers Amat almost untouchable, on-off kind of approach (spoil or cut). Culture and values are nice but are only on the paper...

Pros

I had a pleasant time working with amazing individuals in the solar and semiconductor space. It was a well structured internship and the project goals were clear.

Cons

If possible, better mentoring could be provided to participants of the program. Also, the number of projects floated for interns were limited. I hope they increase this in the future.
