I'm writing a review about my internship just now, after 3 weeks of work, because I'm lazy chmony. If anyone doesn't know, my internship is in the C++ backend team in Wartsila Transas.
I'm starting with minuses:
1) The office is a little poor on my floor
2) No free food except fruits/cookies. On the other hand, it can be a plus, because I wouldn't really want to eat in the canteen
3) The road to work takes 1 hour to one side
But there are a lot of pluses, such as:
1) Tasks are interesting, for example, I invented a new config backup and track label generalization algorithms, but, of course, there are a bit boring tasks too
2) A rather flexible schedule, I'm not afraid to oversleep) And I can always skip a day and work on a day off, I try not to do it because there are few other people on a day off
3) Colleagues are smart and helpful, they write useful comments on my pull requests) They are always ready to answer the questions I ask.
4) Salary is good for intern;)
5) The working computer is cool and workplaces are quite far apart
6) I also like the workplace, it isn't boring, nor too intensive

At first, I was feeling dumb because of the fact that I read the task and had no idea how to start. There is also a lot of code that I don’t understand, but everything works out for itself)
