Pros: Great culture. Work-life balance is real over here.

Cons: Salary is not that good.

Pros: Disclaimer: This is based on my internship experience in Summer 2015. Keep in mind, this is my first internship. I had an amazing project and mentor that really pushed me to my wits. Others had a different experience. If you do get a cool sounding project at Dell, snag it. The engineering intern program is very well structured. Throughout the summer, there are a number of social events, workshops, and speaker series. Near the end, there is an executive presentation where we present to some VPs. Everyone has fairly flexible hours. If you communicate your needs and get your work done, you can come and go as you please. Interns are paid hourly, though. Excessive overtime (i.e. sitting mindlessly at your desk for several hours) was frowned upon. However, I didn't have a problem if I provided justification for why I worked so much. The hours you work vary on the project and the team. Most people seem to do a strict 40-hour work week. Our project was a little hectic, so we were doing 50-60 hours.

Cons: - No free meals. Admittedly, I'm being extremely entitled here. However, I felt the cafeteria was a little too expensive.

Pros: Good environment and leadership to start your career.

Cons: Decent pay with fewer benefits.
