Pros

Definitely good program as an intern. Lots of networking and learning opportunities. Give you a good exposure about the internal workings of this consumer-centric, often-fragile company.

Cons

I choose corporate housing and it turns out to be a huge amount of taxable income (albeit non-cash) on the W2. Called back HR and she wouldn't give detailed breakdown. The benefits appeared great to intern but the taxing is huge! (I have other income as a grad student so the benefits turn out to be costly).

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
