Pros
  • Recruitment process does a good job showering you with dinners and gifts if an offer is extended.
  • Interns get a lot of special treatment. This year, we received:
    • A trip to Bush Gardens
    • An Incredibles 2 private screening
    • Two happy hours
    • Two dinners
    • Many tech talks
  • Pay is about as good as it gets for interns.
  • Housing is included/paid for. Taxes are paid by Capital One too. If you don't take the housing, you get a $3000 stipend.
  • Offices are nice, and they do a great job making sure you have ample opportunities to fix problems if there are any.
  • You can get an offer for full-time if you do a good job.
Cons

Your team is very much the deciding factor of how much fun/enjoyable your work is. If you have a bad team, it can be much less enjoyable team-wise. One of my friends had a really bad team, but the five other friends I had had good experiences.
