Pros

Solid company.

Great marketshare.

Industry leader.

Cool technology.

Cons

Huge. Corporate. Middle management all over the place. Can easily get pigeonholed.

My internship was 10 weeks long. I think I could have done my entire project in 2 days. The corporate hoops and ladders I had to jump through made it super difficult to get work done. I like getting stuff done, and this is not the place for that (well, for an internship at least).

Advice to Management
