Pros

Amazing work. Got to work on an impactful project with high visibility from the ground up.

Amazing peers. Very helpful and super talented.

Stipend and TC are really good, and I'm satisfied with it for now.

Steep learning curve and lots of opportunities to ramp up and grow.

The "FAANG" tag definitely helps. Got more visibility on LinkedIn; recruiters in DMs and mail.

Made my parents proud, so that's cool :)

Cons

WLB: Team dependent, but I worked 10 hours a day during my internship, as some of my team members were from different time zones. I will try to maintain 8-9 hours in the future.
