Good Internship Experience
Systems Software Engineer • Former Employee
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
September 23, 2014
Pros: Extremely helpful, friendly team. I can't speak for all teams, but I had an exceedingly positive internship experience.
Cons: A lot of company architecture is in Perl, which I wished weren't the case. A more modern language like Ruby or Python (although there may be Python in other departments) would've been great.
