      Not the best internship experience.

      Pros

      While working as an intern at Piper, I didn't get to truly get immersed in the culture as I was only there a few short months but, I will say that it was a good opportunity for me personally.

      Cons

      During my time at Piper, the "PiperJet" was the largest project for the engineering department. Unfortunately during my time there, this project was cancelled and the majority of my department was let go over the course of two months. My time spent there was little but it made me as a mechanical engineer realize how delicate the aircraft industry was so because of this experience, I haven't sought out this field since.

      Legacy: proud heritage; old ways of doing business.

      Pros

      2013 Best Places to Work award for a reason. Company has many good characteristics and most people are good to work with.

      Cons

      Ways of doing business are hoary with age. Company just cannot get modern. Long history of buddy-buddy relationships for promotion vs. merit.
