Pros

Great company culture. Valued even as an intern.

Fun, challenging projects, and you learn a ton. You will always be learning something in this company.

Very smart and friendly environment.

As an intern, career opportunities in the sense of converting to full-time are a much smoother process than applying for full-time without coming from an internship. The process is still selective but considerably nicer.

Cons
  • Experience is dependent on teams. I unfortunately had a team with less energy and drive.
  • Depending on the breadth of the project and whether you need to work with remote teams, it can really feel like a clunky, large company.
Advice to Management

Continue to maintain the company culture and make management decisions as transparent as possible.
