Pros

As an intern, I was given a project that I had full ownership of. This made me responsible for the project from design/ideation to implementation to deployment. At each stage, you're guaranteed to learn something new.

The specific team I was on had great management and was working on high-impact tooling. This was a plus since it naturally led my project to be high impact.

Most engineers here are super talented, seasoned, and helpful, so you're definitely going to learn a lot from them.

Cons

The company is huge, so your work is likely to be far from end-users. My project in particular was built for internal use only.

Advice to Management

Encourage more team-specific ways to bond during quarantine. More small groups, less webinars.
