This company has so many nice benefits, like basically having a free gym membership. It's pretty nice.
The people I've met during my first few months have all been super kind and always offer to help. The atmosphere overall is really chill, and there are so many fun interest groups to join, so there's really something for everyone.
They also have a lot of opportunities to volunteer and give back to the community.
Unfortunately, they don't have a 401k match.
Some stages of the onboarding process were difficult as a returning employee, much more so than when coming in as a new employee.
Not so much a con, but I have noticed that most new hires are not fresh graduates, so it is a bit daunting for interns to be one of the few employees coming into the company with less than 3 years of industry experience.
Implement 401k matching and optimize the onboarding process for returning employees.
