Pros
The internship offered a chance to understand real-world operations and industry practices.
Cons
-The work environment was highly unprofessional and emotionally unsafe. There was frequent verbal abuse from the team leader and some fellow interns.
-I was often held accountable for mistakes I did not make, and then expected to manage the fallout directly with customers or vendors without proper support.
-The team created confrontational situations that placed me at the receiving end of anger and dissatisfaction, even when I had no involvement in the underlying issues.
-During conversations, personal and inappropriate remarks were made, including comments about my family background, which was both disrespectful and unrelated to work performance.
-There was no proper mentorship, feedback channel, or HR support to address such treatment, creating a culture of fear, blame, and scapegoating rather than learning.
