• Amazing coworkers: all designers, managers, data scientists, etc. were highly talented, bright people and would do their best to help you in any way they could.
• Food was incredible, restaurant quality (I was in the NY office).
• Interesting work; I never felt bored and learned a lot.

Intern managers were inexperienced and did not care about the success of interns. Mine did not really talk to me, invite me to meetings, or give me advice. Instead, they criticized my code and expected me to naturally learn everything by myself without any guidance whatsoever. I was told I asked too many questions. I felt like I was set up for failure and did not get a return offer. That being said, my PM was great.

Interns are people too. Choose intern managers to be qualified managers with reasonable soft skills.
