Relative Good Pay, Gov. Job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Learned about different subjects directly related to job. Very nice pay, relative to similar jobs. Direct supervision was competent and responded well to productive work.

Cons

Some processes were very inefficient. Frustrating and confusing at times. Sometimes there were multiple people doing the same job, which led to some periods of just 'standing around'.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of the people I came to meet had worked there for more than 7 years, and some as long as 30 years. This builds a close, supportive community with lasting relationships.

Cons

Management is sometimes bureaucratic from what I heard. Didn't really affect me as an intern though.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Low-stress environment, great work-life balance, friendly management, good pay. Relative to other internships, pay was high. Many other employees have good humor.

Cons

Not-so-interesting projects (but to each his own), you'll want to shoot yourself in the foot you'll get so bored. Non-engineering related tasks take up too much time.
