Pros

- Being my first (and hopefully, not my last) time in a "big company", I realized what the fuss was all about. The people are incredibly smart, and that drives you to do better. - Great work environment... small teams, more productivity. Scrums are a great way of ensuring that no one in the team gets stuck in an issue. - Flexible hours (you'll mostly work longer than 8 hours a day though)

Cons

- Sometimes, the work gets a bit too stressful - Developer machines are pathetic (especially the Windows ones). This issue is slowly being addressed, and hopefully will not be an issue for too long. - No pay for working overtime.

Pros

Smart people to work with. Happy hours for Interns Good pay. Great Opportunities for developers if they want to grow technically.

Cons

Management is horrible. My manager was a micro manager and is mostly piling work to developers. Interns are also expected to work on weekends. Mostly a dull team environment where developers don't talk to each other much. No Food and Snacks. You Basically need to pay for everything
