Pros

The internship was short term and the company made sure that I was compensated for the extra expenditures imposed by that. I had useful discourse with my fellow employees and they were extraordinarily helpful when I encountered unfamiliar technology. The work was challenging and demanding, which is incredible for an internship and I felt that I learned a great deal.

Cons

While I understand that it is the norm to have cubicle farms at larger companies, I find them to be limiting. My boss was a 5 min walk from my desk and I felt like I had little interaction with them. The corporate culture was also unlike some of my previous experiences, not bad, just a very 9-5 vibe with many employees with very little passion.
