Pros

Great company culture:

  • Open office layout. You can talk to anyone at any time.
  • Very transparent. Biweekly all-hands meetings for recent consumer deals, etc., and financials.
  • None of the big company politics or bureaucracy.

Great perks:

  • Come into the office late. Any time before 10:30 is okay.
  • Free continental breakfast. Free lunch on MWF. Free dinners whenever you stay past 6:30.
  • Unlimited drinks (including alcohol) and snacks.
  • Lots of free swag.

Great learning experience:

  • Meet lots of other talented interns.
  • Work on a real project that will be shipped to consumers.
  • Take part in every development phase—research, design, implementation, testing.
Cons

They give you a lot of freedom—perhaps a bit too much. I wished the requirements of my project were made more concrete and detailed.
