Process
The interview process was great. The interviewer was very friendly.
The interview itself was okay. I was sent an online component to fill out, which went well. It consisted of multiple-choice questions and one long coding question.

Pros: - Pay is good.
- Excellent intern program with lots of events.
- Mentor was very eager to teach me about technical concepts (will vary depending on your mentor).
- It was my first time working in web, but there was plenty of support in the form of documentation and help from co-workers to get me up to speed.
- No unreasonable expectations; I was never expected to stay late, even when I was given a project with a deadline.
Cons: Pretty overbearing tech culture. You've got to always be smiling and agreeing with everyone. Probably not an issue for most people.
