Pros

I learned a LOT and was giving a significant amount of autonomy and ownership of my projects. The top management was very helpful as well.

Cons

It was a very challenging 10 weeks because the hours were long. It was also tough to get everything I wanted to accomplish (in terms of networking, etc) done in such a short time.

Pros

Generally nice and smart people to work with, great managers, many opportunities to take on more responsibility, fast track is possible, efficient processes given that everyone works around the clock

Cons

Facade of "teamwork" creates more complex culture of politics as everyone strives to climb to the top, terrible hours - you are expected to give up your life for work, especially in Asia where everyone is overstaffed due to lack of resources
