Awesome BOLD Summer Internship

BOLD Intern (Former Employee)
Mountain View, CA (US)

I worked at Google as an intern for less than a year

ProsSmart people, great perks (food, gyms, fun, free SWAG), overal good experience for a college kid looking to learn a bunch while having a great summer

ConsFrom the summer, it seemed that business opportunities were a bit limited. Also, recruiting timelines took forever -- they were very slow about getting back to candidates.

Intern for Platforms Team

Software Engineer Intern (Current Employee)
Mountain View, CA (US)

I have been working at Google as an intern for less than a year

ProsWork is very challenging, culture is fantastic. There is always something going on and it's easy to get yourself involved in anything, even if it's outside your area of expertise.

ConsBe prepared to spend huge amounts of time teaching yourself most of what you need to know.
If you can get to know people early, this isn't so bad.
