1) Salaries are dirt poor for a place which is supposed to be a branch of a Fortune 500 listed company. For comparison, Lanka Transformers Limited (LTL) and Nikini Automation, two companies whose combined wealth can't exceed that of Ceylon Tobacco Company pay their Interns Rs. 40,000 (220 USD) per month whereas this prestigious, etc, etc, place pays only a mere Rs. 10,000 (55.41 USD).
2) Interns are more likely to get assignments that are NOT related to their education. Half of the Interns had to do work which were not near their field of education.
3) No "Work - Life Balance". Not only do they pay you bad, they have the AUDACITY to ask you to come to work even if it means missing university lectures or the precious weekends where you get two days to do YOUR personal things. If THIS doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what will.
4) ILLEGAL Long Hours of Work. The local Vocational Training Department has only given companies the right to get work from Interns for 6 - 8 Hours per day. Guess who spends 10 Hours at work, the Interns. (Insert "Hello, Police?" Meme).
5) Unintelligent restructurings that makes you wonder if those who think of these things are playing Darts with Employees names on the Darts and their possible Future Position on the Wall. Who knows, by this rate Karen from Accounting might be the next CEO. But I'm not a permanent staff member so that's none of my problems.
