> Things got even worse a few days later when word spread across Workplace that the company wasn’t planning to hire any of its current interns at the end of their program. This is such a bad move that I'm going to assume that the source is The Verge misinterpreting a post on Blind. Big Tech internships are the best way to find raw talent to later train in the company. The internships themselves are mostly a net negative — I'm sure the 3 months of manager support I needed to launch a simple feature could have been used more productively — but being able to identify promising candidates with growth potential in a 3-month work interview is crucial for the growth in the company. Wasting all that internship time and later not giving offers to young interns who used their potential vacations to work hard in a career-defining moment is just an awful policy.
