Top 10 Internships 2012

Which internships are the best? Each year, Vault's editors evaluate hundreds of internship programs and select ten internships that we feel provide the best all-around experience. Many factors are considered: mentorship availability, career advancement opportunities, intern involvement/capacity for learning, compensation, perks, industry clout and work culture. Using these as benchmarks, we chose, this year, from a pool of 836 programs to arrive at the ten best companies to intern for.

Presenting: Vault's Top 10 Internships 2012.
