SWE • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 13, 2023
Pros: Working with these friendly, kind, and knowledgeable people for several months has given me even more unrealistic hope for my future jobs. As an intern, I sometimes asked very stupid questions, but they never hesitated to answer.
Cons: Hard to comment on HR; they took two months to send me the documents I needed. If you are on H-1b or need to file an I-140, you need to consider this seriously.
