UX Design Intern
Pros: Amazing perks to being an intern, which include well organised events and freebies. The working and design culture was really nice - several round table events were scheduled for us with lead designers around campus where we could gain valuable insights into the different stuff going on at the time. My immediate team were all really knowledgable and open to providing aid within the Applications and Services Group, and my manager was fantastic. 

Working hours were also very flexible, allowing you to come in at whatever time your want. Although the majority would make the effort to be present all day.
Cons: Some of the cons included the length of the review process for designs, as they needed to be checked by all involved parties before development. A lot of time was spent in these reviews that can make it seem as though you are moving at a snails pace at times.
