Solid place to work

Pros: Colleagues are smart and hardworking.
There is a lot of collaboration, and everyone is willing to help others out.
Additionally, San Diego is a great city to work in.
Cons: Space was kind of cramped during my internship. I did not get an office or cubicle; instead, I got a desk that was kind of just in the middle of the hallway (think receptionist's desk).

Cons: At times, it did feel like just churning out work and not a lot of social interaction.

Pros: - Good hourly pay
- Complete coverage for housing and relocation expenses
- Plenty of intern events and involvement
Cons: Work experience is highly dependent on manager and team. It's possible to get stuck doing boring work all summer, since it's not normally possible to transfer to a different team as an intern.
