Opportunity to learn, I wanted to gain knowledge regardless. But yeah just because they send you a offer letter doesn't mean they keep their words. So make sure when you work you have talked formally about document & certification.

Dislikes

I was interning at T2 section, the company currently really lacks management & overall guidance for Interns. Better switch to other media houses . Choose your mentor wisely or they will scam you to do work with no recognition.
