Pros

Good pay, housing stipend, medical insurance, fun intern activities outside of work, close mentorship from your bosses, opportunity to have a say in your project, challenging learning environment, VERY women/ LGBTQ friendly.

Cons

Large company; you might not get to work on games you're interested in. Crazy crunch hours (although not for interns usually, and it depends on the team). High-level management and even designers are often more focused on making money than making great games (they're adding monetization analysts to their design teams... people who don't care about games).

Advice to Management

Recruit interns who are actually passionate about making games over interns from a fancy brand-name school.
