Pros

Getting an internship with the Hudson Institute is fairly easy. Submit your cover letter and CV directly to a senior fellow and they will respond almost immediately if they feel you have a valuable skill to offer. There is no phone or in-person interview which makes a Hudson Institute internship ideal if you're desperate to put something prestigious on your resume.

Cons

Senior fellows make it absolutely clear that they do not want to interact with their interns on any level. Non-resident interns (those who conduct internet based research) are discouraged from coming to the office. Thorough research is met with curt replies and there is relatively little guidance from Senior fellows.

Pros

You get to select projects off of a list, thus you have the opportunity to work with topics that genuinely excite and interest you. It is purely online, which is convenient for those employed or in school. You do projects whenever you like, as frequently as you'd like. Very few projects have hard deadlines. The supervisor is very responsive to emails. Looks great on a resume.

Cons

There are almost 300 interns, meaning you are one of many and most likely will not receive a job offer. It takes months to get feedback, which they warn you about when you start. Interns that put in 30 hours of work per week get paid the same amount as those who put in 2 -- everyone is unpaid.
