Pros

Free lunch 4 days/wk, coffee bar, free breakfast on mondays, cool workspace & gadgets in the office, work from home.

Cons

Very political environment where 'diversity & inclusivity' is a major priority as employees are divided by race & genitalia, then we're told we need more of this group and less of this group. It's rather sickening. You must think and march along with the obvious political party lines (which doesn't even have anything to do with work) or you're not in the clique.

Pros

Gained hands-on experience building a full website using modern technologies like React, Node.js, and Firebase. Worked in a real team environment and collaborated with senior engineers and designers, which improved my communication and teamwork skills. Got exposure to a production-level development process, including working within structured systems and maintaining code quality

Cons

The internship was relatively short, so I didn’t get to work on as many long-term or large-scale projects as I would have liked. As an intern, I had limited ownership over major features, which sometimes meant less autonomy in decision-making. There was a learning curve with new tools and technologies, which took time to fully get comfortable with in the beginning. The pace of professional development was fast, which could be challenging while balancing the need to learn quickly and deliver high-quality work.
