Behavioral Presentation
After your internship, your manager and HR will complete recommendation forms about whether you should continue with the company, move to a different group, switch functions, or leave. A significant factor in this decision is your final presentation. Afterwards, your manager will conduct an exit interview. If you are not staying for the summer after and are considering a full-time role, you will most likely need to re-interview.
