Pros: Great culture, great people, very efficient workplace, good food in the cafe, and it's great knowing people take pride in their work. They have the resources to do what you need. They take good care of their interns with nice overtime pay. There are lots of nice intern activities (Giants game, Great America), along with the executive seminar series. The gym is nice, although it can get busy.
Cons: Secrecy can get in the way of efficiently doing work, and you will work hard at times. Wish food was free! The traffic can be a little hectic.
