Couldn't ask for a better mentor, manager, or teammates. They gave me a perfect intern project--very enjoyable to work on, raising many interesting algorithmic questions, and very relevant. Mostly, it was relevant to what the team would be doing in the next year, so there wasn't too much pressure. They were consistently supportive and encouraging, no matter how often I pestered them with questions about how exactly my project would be used and feedback on API decisions. They were extremely generous with their time and never made me feel like I was taking too much of it.
Work/life balance was quite reasonable for the people on my team. You'd have to work much longer hours in places like AWS, but people generally know what they're getting into. It's nothing like the NYTimes "expose" in 2015 would suggest.
Introverts may find it difficult to meet other interns (as I did) at the very large events designed for this purpose, where it is easy to feel lost.
My one con seems inevitable given the huge intern body, but it's possible they could have more structured events for meeting other interns.
The interview process included an online coding assessment with two LeetCode questions, then a one-hour technical interview with one LeetCode question as well as some background questions. After that, I heard back from them in a few weeks.
Interview (one round): They asked some data structures and algorithms questions, and also some basic CS knowledge. I found it not easy at all. The market is really not doing well right now.
Coding OA -> One-way workplace OA -> Technical interview -> Offer. The technical interview was just a tagged LeetCode question (medium difficulty). The overall process took quite long. I got the OA late December, and the interview was in February.
