Pros

Smart people to work with.

Happy hours for interns. Good pay.

Great opportunities for developers if they want to grow technically.

Cons

Management is horrible. My manager was a micromanager and mostly piled work onto developers. Interns are also expected to work on weekends. It's mostly a dull team environment where developers don't talk to each other much. There is no food and snacks. You basically need to pay for everything.

Advice to Management

I don't agree with the Amazon Principle. Managers will say anything so that they satisfy one of the Amazon Principles just to get a promotion.
