Hey, I’m an incoming intern and I got matched to a team I’m not interested in. Assuming all goes well and I get a return offer, do I get my choice of team selection, or do I return back to my original team?
OP went from the fireplace to boiler
No
Yes, you return to your original team by default. At least when I was an intern 2 years ago, this was the case. Check with your recruiter though
Return to original team. I interned last summer and returned.
You can get a choice of team by talking to teams internally but by default, you would be going back to the same team which is what I did
Depends on your perf I guess. I've seen interns switch teams upon returning.
Former intern here. You can definitely switch teams upon returning. Let’s cherrypick 3 interns from my class. Two of us were on my Platform team. And the third was on a Product team. Person 1 (me) rejoined the same Platform team. Person 2 requested a switch to a Runtime team and was granted it. Person 3 requested a switch from the Product team and was placed on my Platform team. So yes, very much doable.
Wonderful, was there any process / interviews they went through to get matched to another team? Do you know when exactly they started talking to other teams (if they did) before formally asking for a switch?
Which team?
Do you expect op to tell you and blow his identity?
