#intern

Anyone know why there are now interns but they are contractors?

Think most of them have a title of “early career - x-x” and talking to them they are part of TEKSystems

Seems over engineered to hire interns but do it through a company.

Anyone see A Rico’s posts on LinkedIn about personality tests being used since January and candidates being disqualified due to?

I guess with the record hiring at BTC they needed something like this. Sounds like a big issue though if it is blocking interns and contractors from converting to employees.

Other companies are doing similar. Google for example.

Reporting this from Jacksonville FL office that three Interns who joined straight from college campus were RIF'ed.
Clearly management want certain people as employees.

What amazes me is that interns with no experience are being given preference over people with actual work experience in different parts of the business for roles in various areas like asset management, risk, etc.

So even if someone doesn’t have experience in the area and have been at Fidelity for 5 years, they would rather hire an intern with no experience for a role in that area. You can’t easily move around here.

What's the point of all of these recruiting and connection events they're doing for interns, new employees etc. they are just going to be working the same dead end jobs we are, one day here gone the next, or one day working on a project next day reallocated to something completely different.

Curious to hear from interns about their experiences this summer. Don't be too specific or give any identifying information.

I interned here, loved it, and turned down other jobs to come back. Four months later, I'm out with no warning and no explanation. Why hire people if you plan on getting rid of them within months?

With last week's layoffs, how is the morale of the interns and ldp? I heard they had to sit through speeches by chris flood on leadership and culture already....

Walking around the place with so much positivity and high hopes. None of them have any clue that the rest of us are bitter, angry and mostly dead inside because this company su-ks.

Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here.

What is it with the amount of summer students in Wexford we have way to many, does not make sense with our targets been low

Isn’t it unwise to be hiring summer interns while laying off experienced employees left and right? If we need to cut costs, shouldn’t we start with interns, who are a net drain on resources?

The purpose of an internship program is to build a pipeline to hire entry level workers. Are we really going to hire entry level workers? Isn’t AI going to do all the entry-level work? Even if we are going to hire entry level workers, is it necessary to recruit them prior to graduation? There are thousands of them desperate for jobs.

I feel sorry for students right now, but does it make sense to spend time and money on an internship program?

Just be honest, do we really need senior advanced scrum masters? Can’t an intern do scrum master roles, hon? Or do we really need non technical senior advanced or advanced managers?

Will we be taking on students this year?sick of being moved around the place digging these fkrs out of a hole.

My kid has a summer internship at Pepsi this summer. It looks like the company is having some challenges currently. Does anyone know if Pepsi ever rescinds internships in the past? Any advice or guidance anyone could offer?

What to expect, and how is the company right now? Especially in Global Tech in Charlotte? Curious on people's opinions and advice, especially for someone in my position.

I see this page is always buzzing with various discussions on anything and everything, so I figured it'd be interesting to hear people's honest feelings on the state of things.

Does anyone have idea if Juniper interns will be getting any full time return offers? I interned last summer, but haven't heard back from my manager yet. Not even a Yes/ No. Just no response. Would appreciate it if anyone has some clarity on this

Signed my intern return offer. Should I be concerned it may be resicended? Or I may be fired quickly out of school?

I did an internship this past summer and was extended an offer in PD (engineer). I found this site researching Ford's stability. Is this site representative of your experiences? Looking for advice.

Have you all noticed the significant amount of leadership attention being given to our new analysts and interns lately?

It's quite fascinating to observe this trend, especially with all the packed events in NYC and other locations. It seems like the company media is using social engineering and a controlled audience to portray our current culture as vibrant and dynamic. This is intentional not coincidental.

You might have seen the emails and social media posts with RV and other leaders snapping selfies and mingling with the wide-eyed enthusiastic head-bobbing analysts and interns, who, if you look closely, appear to be sipping bottles of baby formula and Pedialyte while captivated by the experience!

Analysts and interns seem to be the primary internal audience that leadership has found receptive recently. Clearly, leadership is using this audience to create a false narrative and skew perceptions about the current overall corporate culture as being vibrant, dynamic and humming.
