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.

Advice to Management

The individual teams need to be more prepared before the interns come onboard, so that the interns can get to work on more practical and challenging tasks.
