Pros

Flexible working hours, exposure to startup culture

Cons

Internship was unpaid and you're treated as free labour under the guise of 'getting exposure in a fast-paced startup'. The founder is very focused on achieving certain targets (& minimising costs), often requiring you to use your own resources with no reimbursement.

Pros

Gain exposure to startup culture, learn about business development

Cons

Wasn't told that internship was unpaid UNTIL the end of the interview. Expected to commit as much time to this as we would to university schoolwork (Founder's words). Expected to travel to meet clients despite not receiving any form of travel reimbursement Founder kept insisting on us trying to meet with high-level clients and companies despite them being well-established and not needing our startup's business Unhappy when I had to leave internship for personal reasons
