Ericsson - not such an ideal internship

Project management intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is outstanding. I'm an intern and get far above averge pay compared to my classmates.

Cons

No training in my department (project management). No one ever showed me what to do or how to do it...its assumed people automatically know what to do. Also, no one spoke to me my first several days I literally stared at the wall all day. The work is not challenging either. The intenship is supposed to be with project management, but I've never met a project manager. I'm working with low-level support staff without degress doing data entry. The other 5 interns I came in with from other departments are doing the same along with an intern working in CA. It's all boreing data-entry. But once you get over that it's nice the pay is so high for undergrades interns.
