Process
Was referred by a friend in October 2018.
Had an on-campus interview, followed shortly by a behavioral interview by phone.
The interview was mostly analyzing relationships in a UML diagram, and no coding was involved.

Good culture. Proprietary language is career-limiting

Pros: Amazing culture! Foosball, NERF guns, pool, and table tennis are everyday stuff here. A lot of return offers, and some really relaxed people and management. The intern program is pretty big, so it can seem a little disorganized from the Engineering Manager side of things.
Cons: The language they use is very limiting. I wouldn't recommend it if you're going into senior year. I haven't had much trouble with internship seeking, but there is no way this is transferable to a full-time role. Although Workday would be a good place to work after graduation. Also, Pleasanton isn't great.
