Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
That was a good interview. Both interviewers were well-prepared. They asked really fundamental but challenging questions. The interview lasted for almost two hours, including research questions. I learned quite a lot from this interview, even though I could not get the offer!
Good points. Be prepared and be ready.

For interns, a very good place to work!

Pros: Nice city; everything on location; food; sport; work; provides housing for interns!
You can work on state-of-the-art projects. Interns get research jobs (with the right supervisor).
Cons: I guess a lot depends on your job, your supervisor, and the group.
The intern program could also integrate some training. For example, have a main job but go to another department or do something else too. A circuit designer could work a week or two for the layout and testing team. This way the intern meets more people and learns about issues from the other side which he didn't consider before.

Pros: Great place to work. Depends on the team, but great people to work with. Lots of lateral opportunities and good pay and benefits.
Cons: Lots of work, difficult to get promoted. Promotion depends mostly on whether your boss likes you or not. More lateral crosschecking would be good.
