Great Company for Internships
Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
October 20, 2023
Pros: I had a great experience interning here. My manager was friendly and helpful in getting me started in my career.
There were plenty of opportunities to move around and try different things, and people really put time into connecting with interns.
Cons: The experience can be team-dependent. I ended up with a second manager that I didn't like as much as my first towards the end of my time there, and that hampered my experience somewhat.

Excellent Technical Exposure and Impactful Projects
Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
October 14, 2025
Pros: Gained fantastic hands-on experience building real-world solutions with Java Spring, Milvus, and LangGraph.
Beyond the great tech, the work culture was exceptional. The environment was low-pressure with flexible timings, and the overall office vibe made it a very comfortable and productive place to work.
Cons: The primary challenge was being re-assigned to a different team midway through the internship. This required managing responsibilities for both teams simultaneously. Being evaluated for conversion by a new manager based on a very short timeframe felt difficult and added unnecessary pressure.
