Pros:
I'm a graphic designer and interned at AOL. It was an amazing experience. Smart employees that taught be some of the development site - html, seo, etc. I was able to pitch design ideas, work on photos, work on button design graphics, and be part of strategic design meetings. I really loved the culture and the teams were very supportive of interns.
Cons:
Travelling from DC to work is a pain.
Advice for other students:
This AOL internship was awesome.

Cons:
not much.
Advice for other students:
Take it. NYC office is very fun.

Pros:
- Screened and sourced potential deals for AOL.
- Exposure to portfolio company management team and strategies.
- Mobile research memo.
- Very smart media and technology professionals. I loved getting to know the digital publishing and display media businesses.
Cons:
AOL doesn't have the same brand respect as before.
Advice for other students:
My advice is to get investment banking experience. Ibanking will get you thinking the right way about deals. Also, get into the mobile space - it's going to be huge.
