Process
I had two interviews, and was then asked to do an extra third interview.
The third interview was exceptionally difficult, and from what I can tell, was not typical of interviews for the program.
While I did not receive an offer for the program, I was invited to their CodeU program for this semester.

Pros: Great resources, great food, and activities to do around campus when you are not working. Great networking events.

Pros: I got to work with a fabulous team with excellent dynamics, doing interesting work. The support for interns was definitely there. The perks were out of this world, and almost anyone was open to reaching out and grabbing a cup of coffee with.
Cons: You can end up feeling like an extremely minuscule part of the company because it is so large. I was definitely lucky and got a team that was top-notch and extremely welcoming to interns, but others might not be so fortunate. While my team dynamic was great, some other interns had less ideal experiences. Being at this internship can definitely spoil you for other places.
