[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of great companies that don't operate on this nepotistic approach.  They have strict guidelines for internship hiring and really view it as an opportunity to introduce their company to potential talent.  Schools also have MOUs with a range of companies for internship sites and the guidelines are laid out for hiring through those.  This is contemporary practice in most tech companies--even for non-tech positions (e.g., business analytics, marketing etc.).  The people's responses on this site seem very "old school" to me--I'm curious what fields they are as it seems alien to my experience.[/quote]

I work for a "tech" company and just about every interns in this company are kids from "tech" parents currently working at the company or know someone currently working at the company.  I am not saying it is right but that's the reality.  Do they bring in candidates that are screened by HR for interview?  Yes but it is mainly for "show".  At the end, all the interns  that are hired are related to the people currently working for the company.  I've been working in tech spaces for almost 30 years and it's always been like this.
