It is what you make of it

Pros: Did two internships here. First internship, I had a pretty bad time and only returned since I didn't find anywhere else. I enjoyed my second summer much, much more, though.
It really is just what you make of it. The projects they give can often be quite boring and not very interesting, but once they know you are competent enough you can start to get much more interesting work. Culture is very lax and overall the WLB is extremely good.
Cons: - Work they give can sometimes be boring with not much to learn from.
- Documentation and code quality can sometimes be very lacking
- If you don't make a proper effort to get to know people, you probably won't have a good time.
- Compensation is not amazing

Everyone employed there is extremely welcoming and helpful with any questions you have.
Cons: There are 6- or 12-month rotations on different teams, so make sure you'll be working on something you find interesting from the start.
