Former Employee – worked at SanDisk full-time for less than a year

Pros – - You make your own hours
- Traveled to California HQ for in depth training
- No Micromangement - supervisors are based in California
- Excellent pay for an Internship program + embursed for travel expenses (gas, car insurance)
- Great Experience and helped me get an amazing job after graduation

Cons – - Worked alone and out of the house: must be a self starter/motivated or you won't be succussful
- Weren't always given much direction
- No Feedback on performance until my exit interview
- One of MANY (about 50 nationwide) interns - makes it difficult to continue with the company after graduation.

Advice to Senior Management – give a little more direction because the interns work remotely and give feedback throughout the internship, not just in the exit interview. This is a great opportunity for college students and I hope the program contunues

Current Employee – been working at SanDisk as an intern for more than a year

Pros – Pretty good pay for a college internship
SanDisk looks great on a resume
Lots of independence and flexibility
Ability to travel if you're a solid performer
Good likelihood of working part-time throughout school year (if you're good at the job)

Cons – Lack of feedback from managers
Work is very repetitive, sometimes dull and too easy
Company culture is as boring as its product
Flash memory seems more and more like a commodity
It seems like there might be a lack of entry-level jobs so I doubt I will work here after college

Advice to Senior Management – Make the internship more fulfilling. I think most interns are overqualified for the oftentimes mundane work we do.
