If you want to work for one of the big tech giants, it helps if you start as an intern.
Which tech companies treat their lowest-level people best?
Job review and career site Glassdoor assembled a list of the 20 best internship programs. The rankings are based entirely on feedback from previous and current interns. Companies were only included if they had received at least 20 intern reviews in the past two years.
Of the 20 best internship programs, seven tech companies were recognized. One even stole the number one spot. Facebook, LinkedIn and Apple didn't make the cut.
