Pros: Great food. Very helpful Mentor and Team Lead. Got to learn new technologies and create something very useful with it. Fun activities throughout summer. Stayed in an apartment with a bunch of like-minded people. Made a lot of new friends.

Cons: My first experience with rush hour, but apparently it's not bad compared to what I've heard from other places. Nothing else.

Pros: - Very good pay for interns. - For interns, not much is demanded from you (because you aren't working on anything time-sensitive or that will immediately go into production). This makes for an easier experience than, for example, at a startup, but the experience is arguably less valuable. - Free housing. - Great food. - Salary and benefits are awesome if you're given a full-time offer.

Cons: The company leverages out-of-date technologies to build its core infrastructure, and as such, isn't taken as seriously by tech firms when the time comes for you to apply for full-time jobs. Madison is probably a great place to raise a kid, but it can be boring for students. Offers for internships and full-time positions are exploding. While interns often work on more recent, up-to-date stuff (mobile technology, etc.), a select few interns work on VB6 or Caché. This is a real shame, as this experience tends not to be very portable elsewhere.

Pros: Great variety of projects Fun intern events Amazing food and office environment

Cons: None that I could see as an intern! Although I heard the hours are really long for full-time employees.
