Pros

It is essentially all entrepreneurial and you make your own career for yourself. People were very friendly and there was a good open door policy in the office.

Cons

As an intern there is little to no guidance around the office. Your so called mentors are rarely around. The program is set up to just kind of throw you out there. If interns got to go on more meetings with higher ups then they would gain better experience overall. It is difficult in the intern position to want to give it your all when all of your contacts and relationships could be at stake.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
