This isn't what interns do at any reputable technology company.




Noted. I’ve edited it to be more clear what I was trying to express.


Do interns in technology jobs do low status jobs either?

My experience is interns usually try the big cool new ideas, because it frees up the regular people to bring work to production and it doesn't matter so much if the interns try something and it doesn't work?


Can also confirm. Did 5 internships at a variety of companies.

I got to try out radical new ideas and was given a surprising amount of freedom.


The primary goal with interns in tech is to convince them to work at your company post graduation.

Can confirm, have interned at 3 of the big $N.
