Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and had an easy HR phone interview.
The technical interviewer asked me to write a function that determines if a string is a palindrome.
It wasn't terribly hard, and I thought I had found the solution, but I wasn't given a second interview.
Oh well...

Pros: The engineers here are awesome people.
They are incredibly helpful and caring about the interns, very driven to make sure the interns succeed.
Cons: Lots of pressure. As an intern, they expect you to perform at the level of a full-time engineer by the end of your 12 weeks, so this is not an internship to take if you want a joyride.
