Pros

- Great Pay - Work with super smart and capable people - Learn a lot when you're on the job

Cons

- Team was not prepared for an intern and I had to scramble to get a real project - Got my mentor swithced twice throughout the internship and was a lot of moving pieces - So many release dates to get to that it felt almost useless what I did and not in the way that internships usually do

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
