Vault, a career search engine, invited more than 400 organizations to participate in its 2019 internship survey. More than 13,000 interns responded to Vault's 2019 Best Internships for Compensation & Benefits survey, which ranked pay structure, subsidized expenses, office space, and perks.
On a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the highest, interns ranked their overall internship experiences in six categories: compensation and benefits, quality of life, interview process, career development, full-time employment prospects, and diversity. The ratings were then averaged to determine an overall score for each internship program.
The following list reflects the internship programs with the highest compensation and benefits ratings. Several internships also ranked near the top in other lists, so we included those details for context, too.
