Pros

I met some wonderful colleagues and friends

Cons

As interns we were poorly compensated if at all, we were pushed to hit targets and spam, all in the name of "SEO". This was one of the worst companies I have ever worked for, an unsympathetic management just made the whole experience worse. Poor decisions were made on a regular basis and there was no room for improvement or progression within the company.
