Pros: Fun activities and we got an amazing intern gift. I learned a lot from fellow interns and especially from other full-time employees. The work environment was very friendly.

Cons: There weren't many cons that I could think of, except that the work was a bit tedious, and I wish the project I worked on made more of an impact.

Pros: Good pay and a very good package. Working for a leading software company, sort of...

Cons: Senior management is clueless about the direction the product is heading, with no vision of where to go except to copy other companies' ideas. It's always: "If they do something, we must do it too." It's never: "We should do this before anyone else." The work environment is very political; many decisions are based not on performance but just on who's in power and who likes whom. There's lots of dependency and repetition: start a project, finish, then scrap it, then start again! The review process is horrible; it forces people into the lower 10%, which makes managers come up with excuses to put you lower on the scale. And if you ever get on that list, good luck trying to convince your managers you don't belong – it's best to start looking for a job immediately. This is an old, outdated company full of politics and people who just care about climbing the corporate ladder instead of delivering good software. Oh, and if management ever makes a mistake, ICs, watch out! You will be on the chopping block!

Pros: Great benefits. The salary and benefits are quite competitive. Chance to work with some quite talented engineers. Broad product range provides flexibility to work on different areas based on interest.

Cons: Engineering at some teams (especially older ones) can become too structured sometimes. There is not much room for innovation, and the rigid requirements can make the work feel boring. It's hard to make significant contributions at the junior levels.
