Vikas Singh, IIM Kozhikode on Facebook in response to this article : Congratulations on the completion of the internship. I hope you felt exactly how you have mentioned in the article. It is a good read, no doubt. However, having gone through something similar at the same company last year, I know these bitter sweet pills are more of the former than latter. The experience and all was good, no doubt. You get to meet new people, visit new places, yes. However that's about the only good thing about the sham that is their intern program. A few anecdotes from my experience: 1. The location/ stipend etc changed from the time the interviews were held to the time we joined. And by change, I mean a zero was struck off from the right side of the stipend already promised during the interview. 2. The mentors are former sales people with little or no acumen in Marketing. There are tier 1 B-Schools, tier 2 B-Schools and tier 3 B-Schools. And then there are the B-Schools from where these mentors pass out from. Oh yes, there's 50 feet of crap between these B-Schools and tier-3 ones. 3. The allowances promised before the internship were halved after completion. To give you an idea, the daily expenses just about covered my daily bottled water bill. Oh wait, that was before Aquafina hiked the rates from Rs. 18 to Rs. 20. 4. If A is your actual project and B is what they ask you to do, then A intersection B is a null set. 5. The stipend will reach you a good couple months after the completion of the internship. I might sound very bitter but that really echoes my sentiment for this Lala company (no disrespect meant to any community). To tell you the truth, these people hire interns to do jobs that regular employees should do at locations no regular employee wants to. They have outsourced all BTL activities to third parties whose only agenda is to bill the living excretion out of the company. To be fair, that's what they deserve, actually. The worst thing that can possibly happen for you now is a PPO. Thankfully, they don't have a PPO policy. But then I believe this decision is more supply than demand driven. My advice would be to keep in mind all the learning amidst the madness, and use it alongside the curricular knowledge and present yourself as an all-bases-covered candidate when Final Placements come around. It will help your candidature at other FMCG companies. All the best! - Vikas Singh, IIM Kozhikode on Facebook in response to this article
