Is it worth applying for the BlackRock Portfolio Management summer internship if I want to go into value investing?

I'm an undergrad looking to applying for equity research internships on both the buy and sell side with the intention of going into a value oriented asset manager or hedge fund. Is it worth applying for the BlackRock Portfolio Management internship? Although Blackrock has an equities research team, I've heard that Blackrock is a bad place to start a career off as an analyst since it's mostly a passive shop. Should I focus my time on preparing for my interviews with other AM shops instead of applying for Blackrock?
