Pros

Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly, and the work-life balance is really nice. They make so many resources available, including learning, networking, and socializing opportunities, that it's nearly impossible to attend most of them. They send you SO much stuff: shirts, sweatshirts, yoga mats, coffee mugs, water bottles, name plates, notebooks, pens, etc. Every engineer I work with is undoubtedly world-class; it's extremely impressive, the intellect and culture I've seen here. You simply can't do better than this internship from a growth or opportunity perspective.

Cons

Goals are not well-defined. I often find it hard knowing how good is "good enough". This causes a lot of uncertainty when it comes to things like Return Offers.

Advice to Management

Better-defined criterion for success in the engineering space. More forces interaction with different engineering teams.
