Pros

You get to travel, and the starting pay will prevent you from starving to death. You'll make a boatload of money for the higher-ups

Cons

You will not be trained in any of the skills they require you to possess. You will be fired in short order for arbitrary reasons. You are disposable to them. You will be sold a bill of goods that are false: in the interview, you will be lied to. The management will act like your best friend, but the second you begin working there, it'll be like jekyll and hyde. When you get fired (and it's not a matter of "if,") you will be billed by American Express for late fees on your company card, and it will reduce your credit score.

Pros

The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

Cons

Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
