Most developers working in the uncool environment of corporate IT organizations will soon know the demotivation of having one's work discarded or declared unimportant. Might as well expose interns to it.
Underpaid and overworked is another common element of uncool corporate IT. The sort of upside though is that it is notoriously difficult to bring in interns to this kind of organization. Corporate HR doesn't like it. So, they're usually brought in at the Jr Developer salary level, although that's likely to be 15% to 25% under the intern's salary at a cool software company.
Respect for interns at uncool corporate IT varies by department and manager. Some do a great job at this and others treat them like an annoyance foisted on them by HR.
Another element of uncool corporate IT is being treated like an easily replaceable cog in the machine. Useless, but important to your survival at the company, metrics and creating or sitting through dull PowerPoint presentations rule the day.
