Pros: This particular technology internship at UnitedHealth Group was outstanding. I worked within this group called the "product and innovation group" and I think their basic role is to bring innovation to UnitedHealth with an emphasis on consumer technology solutions. Everybody in the group was smart as hell. I loved it. During the internship, I was also given freedom and did hands on development. Honestly, I didn't think I would be challenged, but I was dead wrong - lots of complicated work and geez did I love it. Cons: nothing Advice for other students: The internship surprised me and I really recommend this group.
