<p>Hi, I'm a junior in Electrical/Computer Engineering and I am having a hard time trying to decide where I should do my internship this Summer. I received offers from the following:</p>
<p>Intel
Goldman Sachs
Oracle
Cisco</p>
<p>To be honest, I think it's really between Intel and GS. </p>
<p>Intel
- personally more interested
- better offer
- DOESN'T evaluate the interns for their full time position for postgraduation</p>
<p>GS
- decent offer
- technology division considered as back office?
- 70% of interns receive full time offer </p>
<p>The fact that GS sees internship as a long term interview for their full time position is a huge plus. Any insights?</p>
<p>yes, better pay, benefits, and relocation services. Oracle, for example, pays $35+/hr, free housing, and free car rental for the Summer. Intel is pretty similar. GS, on the other hand, pays much less base salary with practically no relocation packet at all…</p>
<p>I pay for my own tuition, so salary is hard to ignore.</p>
<p>I was in a similar position. I graduated EE with offers from MSFT and Barclays. I also did an internship at Intel. I would say not to worry too much about the offers. Think more about whether you’ll actually enjoy doing the kind of work that each job entails. I spent 6 months at Intel to realize I didn’t enjoy semiconductor chip design. Either offer will make other companies look at you more favorably when you’re searching for FT offers. At this stage, it’s more about finding out what kind of work you actually like.</p>
<p>i think oracle should be number one. Its one of the primier technology companies ever. Second should be cisco then GS. That ranking is just by repuation of the name. An internship from any of those will look impressive and a job offer is a big boost. Are you considering Oracle and if so waht are the pros and cons</p>
<p>you are pretty fortunate. Im a computer engineering senior, have a 3.42 gpa (3.7 major), have applied to plenty of places for internships, including intel, and have nothing yet</p>
<p>Go with the job where the work seems more interesting. You will be spending a lot of your life working over the next 35 years. If you can find a job where you love the work, that will make a lot of difference.</p>
<p>The GS offer is likely in operations, which is considered hell on earth by the people who work there. </p>
<p>I would go with Oracle or Cisco. Do a coin flip. Or go to glassdoor.com and look over the reviews/salaries and try to make an educated decision.</p>
