Pros

Superb environment and facilities. Great support to employees, such as workstation setup, ergonomic support, and experiment facilities training and support. Various opportunities for life-long learning. Good practices learned through the internship have a long-lasting effect on my further development.

Cons

All interns are talented, but some might be too young to maintain socially acceptable conduct on and off the Google campus.

This year, some of my fellow interns have made a mess in the company-provided accommodation (which is, by the way, an awesome flat with other friendly residents), and our neighbors are quite upset about the misbehavior by my fellow interns.

I hope that Google can put more weight on overall personality in its candidate selection process.

Advice to Management

I hope that Google can put more weight on overall personality in their candidate selection process.
