Pros

Lot of intern activities. Manager, mentor, and other team members were very supportive, encouraging, and more than happy to explain technologies when available. If you're lucky, you can get really good work wherein you know exactly what and why you are doing what you're doing. You get the whole picture of the project.

Cons

Less base pay, expensive corporate housing - so I decided to arrange for my own accommodation.

Advice to Management

They should provide free or subsidized corporate housing because the Bay Area is super expensive.
