Pros

Undoubtedly an intense environment, but I enjoyed feeling like I was actually making a difference on my team. The pay was good as well, and the ability to earn a full-time return offer is great. My project was clear-cut, and the expectations for what I was to accomplish were also well-defined prior to joining, which I appreciated.

Cons

HR feels downright oppressive with how much they "care" about you — daily questions about your team and working environment, endless trainings, and constant emails about new meetings, etc.
