    Internship experience in 3M
    The good thingsThe overall internship in 3M was rather rewarding. Given that we were students, sufficient opportunities were given to us to learn and reflect upon our job roles. The internship structure was rather straightforward. We were introduced to different managers on the first day, allowing us to seamlessly adapt to the working culture.
    The challengesCompany politics is present everywhere. Interns were constantly checked on. Gossips were constantly spread around which sometimes made work rather unpleasant.
