Pros:
- Office space.
- Culture and intelligence of co-workers.
- Manager.
- Good pay, not just for interns, but positions at Altria are paid well in general.
- Smart engineers.
Cons:
For some people, it's tough to get past the fact that it's a tobacco company.
Advice for other students:
My advice is to get organized with your internship search early. It's easier as an engineering major, but for others it takes time to create the right materials and identify the correct companies.

Pros:
I worked in the Altria smokeless tobacco brand management group. As an intern, I was given exciting projects and didn't spend anytime doing busy work. The office and amenities are very cool and Altria sets up intern events. I also had the opportunity to work with Altria's adversiting agency and see the agency/client relationship.
Cons:
The big downside is that you're in the tobacco industry. It's tough.
Advice for other students:
Don't write a crappy internship cover letter that's not specific to the company. Tell a specific company why you are interesting in their company and how you are going to offer value.
