Being eager to get an internship, I really didn’t look into the company’s financial and economic history. But my dad was the one who sat with me and went through the company’s financial history, revenue, efficiency , stock price, competitors, employee reviews, etc. Although for an internship this doesn’t really matter, this matter for me when I become an employee and work full time. First of all, I care about this because the net income of a company tells me how stable the company is, this can affect me as an employee because if the company is not stable financially, they can fire employees to reduce expenses. The more the net income, the more the company is able to invest in their employees and other expenses. If they aren’t stable, they can also be easily bought over, which results in procedures and employee roles changed, which may or may not be what you want. Therefore, for my long term stability, I would look into the company’s revenue and net income. Secondly, I look into stocks and reviews to make sure I am working for a good, trusted company.

I don’t really bother too much about the type of cooperation they are (LLC, S-Corp, etc) because they change based on the focus of the business and doesn’t really tell much about their stability.
