It was a learning curve but not challenging enough

The internship did not offer me the expirenice to develop skills inline with my desired career ,it did not challenge me enough .I enjoyed doing my job at first until it became a routine with very little promise for growth ,maybe I am too ambitious or I was just not placed in the right set . Even an uneducated person could do the duties I was expected to do with minimal training .I am glad I had the expirenice and I gave everything I did there my best but I need something more challenging .

Pros: Great exposure and product training
Cons: Very little growth rate and opportunities
