This was my first internship, and unfortunately it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. I joined hoping to learn HR, marketing, and business development in a structured environment, but the reality was very different.
Most of the work revolved around cold-calling placement coordinators, chasing enrollments, meeting targets, and repeatedly following up with colleges. There was very little actual mentoring or structured learning.
One of the biggest issues was the management. My team leader, Vaibhav, often communicated in a rude and unprofessional manner. Instead of providing proper guidance, instructions were frequently unclear, work assignments changed without proper coordination, and when confusion happened, it felt like the blame was pushed onto interns instead of being handled constructively.
I personally experienced situations where duplicate work was assigned because of poor coordination, and rather than acknowledging the communication issue, I was simply redirected without any real explanation. That made the workflow frustrating and disorganized.
Department changes also felt confusing. Roles kept shifting, and some departments were unpaid and even lacked basic benefits like a stipend or an LOR, which wasn't clearly communicated from the beginning.
If you're looking for genuine skill development, mentorship, or a well-organized internship experience, this may not meet your expectations. I appreciate the confidence I gained from speaking to placement coordinators and handling professional conversations, but overall the environment wasn't something I would recommend.
This review reflects my personal experience, and I hope the organization improves its communication, transparency, and treatment of interns.
