Pros: Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Amazing food, free gym/fitness classes, monthly InDays to do anything you want, inspiring CEO, lots of support available to interns, fun intern events (Disneyland trip, paintballing, speaker series, etc.), amazing culture, good pay, sooo many perks—the list goes on and on... They house the interns in the same apartment complex, so it was really easy to meet other people, hang out after work, etc. This summer made me feel so spoiled; it felt like summer camp! I was worried that all of the other interns would be the stereotypical "CS nerd" type, but that was certainly not the case. You can tell LinkedIn focuses a lot on culture fit, and that is apparent in their hiring. I think the intern program is the perfect size. They keep it a little smaller than some other large tech companies, which means more of the interns can get return offers. LinkedIn invests a lot into their intern program, and it is very apparent.

Cons: Gained weight from all the good food! Looking back, I think I would have preferred to work in the SF office instead of the South Bay because it's a more exciting area if you're young.

Pros: The internship was fantastic. In addition to great pay and working on legitimate projects, they took interns to lots of fun events, from a dinner cruise around the SF Bay to a weekend in Disneyland. I was a software engineering intern, and as a first internship, I don't think I could have asked for a better place to work.

Cons: Getting a little bigger than I would like.

Pros: Everything here was amazing. The food was unbelievable and so healthy. I am vegetarian, so I can comment on the great restaurant-quality Indian food. Additionally, the portions are all small, so it's easier to make good choices. The culture in general is great. Everyone is super friendly, and the CEO is very lively and honest; everyone loves him. Overall, I worked a regular 40-hour week and got to work on significant features in a small team. I saw no bureaucracy or anything like that. Also, the pay was very high for interns and very high for new grads as well.

Cons: The gym is small. Everyone in Mountain View is very tech-focused. It'd be nice to have more of the business people to share offices with as well.
