Pros

As an intern in the IT field at Principal, you get an extra perk of a $1,000 scholarship for the next semester following your internship. Any Principal internship position also provides you a summer living stipend for summer interns, which is very helpful. Another benefit of interning at Principal is the ability to work flex hours.

Cons

I don't really have any cons. Principal treats their interns really well.

Pros

The team in San Diego is amazing. The Managing Director, Gary Lu, puts his advisors first and would do anything to help us with support. Having been with several other companies, Principal is the best out there. Great environment, awesome leadership and the best support in the industry!

Cons

It seems like the majority of the support comes out of the Irvine office, but the seniority and team to work with is in San Diego.
