Pros

Probably the best intern salary compared to Google, Apple, and Amazon, especially given that in Washington prices and taxes are lower. Subsidized housing.

Cons

Tools are definitely not very good, build system, source control, etc., etc., etc. But this is going to get better soon, I think.

Advice to Management

Become more agile and faster.

Use more open-source software.

Bring free food, please, as Google does.
