Pros

Flexible work environment. Entrepreneurial culture that embraces pursing a better way to deliver value to clients. Extreme dedication to serving and making a difference for clients. Open environment to provide positive and negative feedback.

Cons

The focus or "why" of Interstates Control Systems is to deliver for their clients and drive high returns to capital for the shareholders. Employees are neither the focus nor part of the "why". This manifests itself in a variety of ways including lagging employee salaries, long work hours, stingy vacation benefits, etc. In short, life is pretty good if you are a client or shareholder of Interstates Control Systems but for the average employee you can do better.

Pros

Fun coworkers. Made long lasting friends even after the internship ended. Very good experience overall and allowed for some unique experiences that you cannot get in college.

Cons

Some departments at least give you a chance at applying for a full time job, others simply use you for cheap labor with the fake promise of, "If you work hard enough, you might get a full time job" when that was obviously never their intention. Unfortunate to see some interns go through that.
