Pros: The team members are great. The working environment is good. Interns are allowed to build the things they wanted to build.

Cons: Maybe lunch is not provided at Amazon. Also, interaction between groups which are far away might take longer time and effort than thought.

Pros: Team is very supportive. I am learning a lot each day. Own your project and demo.

Cons: Perks are kind of mid. The commuter benefit sucks.

Pros: Great benefits and stock at a company whose stock has gone up by hundreds of dollars over the past two years. Can be great opportunities to apply new technologies and work on cutting-edge products.

Cons: Teams are very insulated, so experience can vary drastically depending on what organization you end up in. However, the guidelines surrounding performance evaluation are standardized across the company and can prove restrictive for individual managers. In my experience, managers tend not to have time or resources to monitor individual performance and can't accurately assess individuals to help them improve or warn them until they are actually conducting performance reviews, at which point corrective action is immediately required with limited flexibility.
