Pros

My team was wonderful. I shipped some code during a release that turned out to be extremely stressful, but my team lead and mentor both handled it extremely well and were able to pull me through seamlessly. I felt comfortable asking questions pretty much 100% of the time, and I learned so much directly and just by being around them.

My team lead allowed me to choose tickets and projects to work on that catered to my taste, so I left the internship with a large breadth of knowledge.

I was able to talk to my mentor and team lead about some of my concerns, especially as it being my first ever internship.

Tech stack is pretty modern.

Cons

Not really that many cons. People can be awkward, but that's to be expected in STEM fields. Communication is hard, and sometimes it can be difficult to separate what is being said from the person's tone of voice.

There are times when it is easy to read too much into a coworker's tone, but the best thing to do is to take it at face value and not read too much into it. After all, it is a work environment, and coworkers don't necessarily have to be your friends.
