Pros

I was hired as an intern and was immediately placed on a team that helped me transition into the working world. As soon as I grew accustomed to the various software interfaces, I was able to meaningfully contribute to the projects my team was working on.

Positions often lead to decent upward and lateral mobility if searching for a different position within the company.

Overall, the people I worked with were very warm, and I had a great time working here.

Cons

The cubicle structure of the office lent itself to a more secluded atmosphere. I had no problems over the length of my internship term (~3 months).

Advice to Management

At times, it seemed that teams in different groups were disconnected in working towards a product. While the hierarchical team structure worked well for working within the same department (i.e., SLT Testing, etc.), it was sometimes difficult to find the right person when a problem arose in a part of the product from a different team's contribution.
