Pros
- Was given actual projects from the team that were important for me to complete for the sake of the site/company. Once I started getting over the learning curve, I was able to contribute ideas and opinions on projects, and I felt like a team player because people listened and used or debated over what I said. - Don't except to find resources very easily. The projects are there, but the ones I were given were only in idea form and hadn't been started by anyone yet, and was only given a little information about who I can talk to to start it - Opportunity to meet directors and VPs in the company - Great company culture that definitely keeps in line with "Colgate cares" - In general, open minded people if you aren't very pushy and listen - Interns are treated as regular employees
Cons
- If only assigned a manager and you never get to see him/her, can make the internship very difficult due to lack of feedback, general guidance, him/her knowing what you're doing - I was given many major projects that I was expected to complete by the end of my internship. Would be better to have been given only 2 or 3 to focus on
