Pros

Competitive monthly stipend Healthy work-life balance Hands-on exposure to real-world projects Strong learning curve Smooth onboarding and training experience Reputable global brand

Cons

Full-time conversion process lacks clarity and varies by team Some teams hire interns without clearly defined requirements Internship duration can extend up to 11 months without any guarantee of conversion Advice to Interns Don’t base your decision solely on the stipend Research the team thoroughly before accepting the offer Connect with current or past interns to understand team dynamics and conversion likelihood Teams with genuine hiring needs tend to offer better conversion prospects Some teams may bring in interns mainly for temporary workload support Conversion is not purely performance-based—it heavily depends on team budgets and hiring plans Be prepared for possible reasons like budget constraints or lack of headcount after the internship period

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
