Excellent benefits, great culture

Pros: Great work-life balance if you're on the high-level software teams.
Excellent pay and benefits. They prefer hiring interns back for full-time instead of recruiting outside of the company. So if you're an intern, you are almost guaranteed a return full-time offer from them. Their returning full-time offers are usually way above the market average, too.
Great culture. Everyone here is smart and knows what they are doing. They are friendly and usually willing to help.
Cons: Not so much professional growth if you're not an EE.
The HR department is not helpful, and people there are arrogant. They are not very willing to negotiate and might even consider you ungrateful when you try to discuss your offer with them.

Pros: Overall, the program was great. It encouraged connections with other interns and an overall interest in self-improvement.
Cons: I ended up poorly placed on a team that did not fit my skills, and due to a failure in communication, it didn't get fixed.

Intern Project Not-Good

Pros: Treat employees well.
At the forefront of technology.
Recruiters are nice.
Lots of opportunities to move around.
Tons of really smart and talented employees.
Cons: Intern projects are either testing and useless work, or, as in my case, as an intern, I didn't have enough knowledge of the driver to be able to really contribute. Also, the first few weeks, I didn't do anything because we weren't given permissions to access anything.
