Internship @  Start ups or MNC's???

 
                                                Hello everyone .........

Interning at a large company provides you with a recognizable brand name and teaches you about how large organizations function. The perks are really nice, and there will be other interns to hang out with. Interning at a start up gives you more practical, transferable experience and allows you to see the inner workings of an entire (small) company.

During my internship at start up I got to  learn many new things which definitely leveraged my skills and exposure to clients. The Induction Programme was outstanding. Deep Involvement of Industry Mentors and expert people for duration of 1 week. We were a team of Six Interns and everybody was assigned with multiple projects simultaneously. Exposure to client facing and one to one meeting with vendors, clients and negotiation practices. 

We were strictly following action plan on daily basis and giving outputs at the end of the day.
For starting your career , I think all should have a work experience in a start up, then you can use that experience as a stepping stone to your career.

Work Experience (Project)

At a large company, your assignments or projects are likely to be contained within the scope of the team of which you are a member, and likely to some subsection of that scope that has been chosen for you. You might even have one specific isolated project that you work on by yourself or with some input from one or two other people for the duration of your internship. As a result, you can get a lot of depth in that one area, and at the end of the internship, you’ll hopefully have some cohesive unit of work you can demonstrate, show off, and talk about in the future, but you won’t have had any exposure to much else that’s going on in the company or even on your team.

 At a start up, you could have an experience as described above for a big company, but I’d say you’re much more likely to have a more haphazard set of smaller tasks or projects that come up over the course of the summer. Start ups’ product plans tend to be a lot more fluid, and that certainly plays a big role in this. You’re much less likely to know what project you’ll be working on months before you start, and you’re much more likely to have that project change when you’re half-way through it. Additionally, team boundaries are a lot more hazy at a Start up, so you’ll probably find yourself doing lots of different types of work, and you’ll get exposure to a lot more of the company.


Social

At a big company with lots of other interns, you’re more likely to make lots of intern friends and hang out with them (particularly if you’re living in corporate housing and going to the company-organized intern events). It’s really awesome to be able to meet other students your age from schools all over the world, and a lot of people find close friends. On the other hand, because there’s a more clear intern/full-time barrier line at larger companies, you probably won’t spend much time hanging out will full-timers outside of the office.

                    

 When you intern at a Start up, most of the people you interact with are likely to be at least a few years older than you. You probably won’t spend as much time outside of work interacting with your co-workers because there won’t be as many interns to hang out with, but if you manage to befriend some full-time employees, hanging out with them can be a lot of fun (and different from being around people your own age). 

 Perks

Larger companies tend to have more perks (though Start ups are definitely catching up). For example, at Facebook interns enjoyed company iPhones, three delicious meals every day (and four on Nacho Wednesday), free laundry (with folding) and dry cleaning, corporate housing (should you choose to take it), shuttles all over the Bay Area, subsidized gym membership, a bike subsidy, and up to $1000 to spend on airfare among many others. I was also able to get a customized ergonomic setup at my desk which did wonders for my comfort during the work day.

Some Start ups are catching up, but there’s a certain scale at which a company needs to be at before things like an on-site culinary team or a shuttle service make sense. You’ll probably be finding your own housing, figuring out how to get to the office on your own, doing your own laundry, and maybe going out and buying your lunch every day. 

                      So friends Choose the right path ............
