Has anyone heard or can confirm those specific companies in the SF Bay area that are canceling their summer intern programs due to the Corona Virus? A coworker asked if our company was going to cancel our summer internship during a meeting this morning, which we are not doing, but wanted to see if any other companies are considering or have canceled. #internship, #siliconvalley, #covid-19, #coronavirus
Plausible. Possible? Maybe not. Depends because no one wants a remote intern. Either people are back at work like normal or most internships will get cancelled because interns can't be trained remotely. Also interns can't be evaluated for culture fit remotely. How do you know you want to extend a full time offer to this person without ever working with them? New grads don't have a range of work history that you can reference check their past work and predict performance/culture fit by asking around about them. With full timers you can do reference checks or see their work history and hire them. Maybe top tech companies manage to keep the interns. Not sure if the middle/bottom tech companies will.
Highly likely. Hard to mentor people if they’re wfh
Automatic return offer conversion and free 12 weeks of $$$$
For facebook interns?

Do you really feel special in your Tesla?
Don’t do that! Don’t ruin careers
Exactly. But have to be practical about it. What happen to interns in 2000 market crash? What about 2009 market crash?
You’re worried about your internship haha? Do you not realize the severity of a recession? People lose jobs. Internships are the first to go
