Pros

The mentoring program was great. I was teamed with a brilliant employee who never hesitated to answer my questions. Other co-ops I worked with felt the same way. I started with tedious work, but as you prove yourself, opportunities open to work on real projects that full-time employees would work on.

Cons

Space was cramped, as you had two, sometimes three people sharing a cubicle/office.

They have a new building on Austin, so I don't know how that has changed with the move there.

Advice to Management

Exploring new products that customers request is great, but focus on the core business too (traditional server and PC processors), as it's very easy to fall behind Intel.
