Got to learn a lot from the internship, but the company culture left a sour taste

Pros

You are surrounded by really smart engineers all around. It's a great opportunity to learn how the industry works. You will gain a huge amount of knowledge in all the software, and eventually, you will be capable of relating it to theory and hand calculations.

Cons

I don't want to sound childish, but there are no real additional benefits provided, like gym, food, or after-office events. Everyone just works, and later in the internship, you are expected to work at least one hour overtime. I understand that I have to work overtime to meet deadlines and get paid for it as well, but there is something called company culture and work-life balance.
