I'm the founder of a seed-stage startup and need to expand the team (currently 5 people) — I'm considering hiring interns for growth, product, operations, and sales.
For those who have hired interns before (students / fresh grads), how do they compare to full-time hires, both in terms of output and time to productivity?
Do they produce quality work (in their first few months), or are they mostly for a talent pipeline? How much autonomy can I give them and how hands on do I have to be with onboarding / continuous coaching?

Cheers all for the thoughts :)
