Pros

The intern program is great, and I got to make lots of friends with the interns there.

The office put on lots of events, from airing the World Cup games in the cafeteria to outdoor games day, to internal hackathons, to screening new movies on Fridays to celebrate their release.

Cons

The office is basically a ghost town besides interns. I had little communication (face-to-face, or otherwise) with full-timers and didn't get a good team experience. Interns are treated very differently than full-timers, which is a little good but mostly bad. My opinion on team dynamic is also swayed by only being there for 4 months in the summer, compared to most interns which are 16 months and may have more time to be integrated into their teams.
