Pros

The people, by far. A lot of folks there are really kind and caring. Mostly teammates and other devs. There are some bonus benefits and certifications covered by the company (Like AWS, Azure, Java, etc). Good social events, if you are into them.

Cons

Most of the projects are really bad or offer almost 0 value to your career. I agree that you can always learn even from those experiences, but it feels horrible to dedicate hours of work in tasks and areas that are boring, meaningless or even far from what your area is (Like a Dev working as a QA for months). The culture might feel a bit overwhelming for people who are not used to or interested in social events. The problem with what I mentioned above is that promotions are based on two things: 1. If you are starting as an intern, they are going to promote you, probably just to make you feel better. 2. And the most important one, if your superiors like you. It all feels based on this, there are several comments mentioning it, and I can confirm it. They are progressively trying to bring people back to the office, showing that they did not learned anything from the pandemic. The strategy mentioned about mostly hiring interns is true. Like I never saw a senior being hired, just new and fresh college graduates or really young people. So you can be replaced in doing a boring tasks in a horrible project by any other new and naive intern, I guess they see it that way. Your feelings and mental health are not the priority, money is. But I guess this is a rule in a lot of places, that's how this world works... sadly.
