First exposure to corporate IT

Pros

It seemed like diversity was encouraged and it was fun to participate in some of the employee resource groups. The intern program was not as developed as some of the programs at other companies I have worked for though.

Cons

As an intern, instead of working on your own project or in a team of peers you join a group of senior analysts so I ended up doing some side work for them most of the time instead of actually getting exposure to project management or being actively engaged in the product development lifecycle planning.
