What kind of culture are you instilling in your Group? I'm sure people have left under your watch, so why did you let these people get hired in the first place if they are not very good at anything?

I can think of plenty of people who left Enterprise because they were burned out and went onto be successes. It is easy to find examples because so many people leave. One former coworker is a very good investor, another is a very good teacher, another is a very good mother. The fact that you would chastise people who left to find a more fulfilling career/life with regular working hours is unbelievable.

It is nice that you like your job. But Enterprise is not for everyone and if people decide to leave because they get burned out, it baffles me as to why you would be so bitter towards them that you would assume they would not be very good at anything else. There are (*GASP!*) other companies out there. People are allowed to pursue other opportunities.

To the person thinking of the internship, it isn't the worst thing in the world (just make sure you aren't working in the Group of the person I quoted, because if you leave you will not be very good at anything!), but I would also look into any other companies that are closer to your area of study. Then compare what each company has to offer.
