Verily

Great mentorship from multiple team members. Perks and pay are great. Contributed to a project that saw actual use, rather than some throwaway intern project (although I am not sure if that is typical). Good work-life balance. Broad goals of the company are morally sound and impactful. Was able to attend lots of educational meetings with healthcare specialists as part of Verily's initiative to educate their SWEs beyond the scope of engineering work.

• Hiring process post-internship was a complete mess (little to no communication, re-interviewed several months later than expected, internship performance seemed to count for very little). I was very disappointed on that front.

• Ironically, feedback was probably too positive. It was hard to tell if I was doing well without constructive criticism.

There's no point in redoing technical interviews for continuation candidates. If you want more rigorous and standardized testing of interns, do that during the internship.
