Great summer internship experience

September 6, 2014

Pros: Had such a great summer due to this internship. They housed us and had events for us all the time. The employees here are mostly all really nice, and the other interns were cool. Working wasn't ever really stressful and felt laid back.

Cons: If you're in app dev, working in their proprietary language somewhat limits your learning experience for the internship. I felt like I didn't have time to really learn it that well, and therefore didn't do as much through the summer.
