Pros

- Opportunities could be gained that could change your life for the better - Great learning but challenging environment - To-the-point meetings and clear communication among almost everybody - You can sense a good work/peer-pressure always - Good food/fun activities at new office - International recognition even if you are an intern due to brand value

Cons

- Most times you are on your own and too much time wasted on fiddling around because mentors/supervisors are too busy (they really don't care that much about interns, literally one mentor said that they only do this as a support) - Networking / Office Contacts are prioritized more over technical skills specially when re-hiring. If you are buddies with your mentor, huge chance to re-hire you permanent. - Cannot say degree-discrimination is non-existent to some extent. - Your are just a statistic most of the time

Pros

Cultivates a highly collaborative environment surrounded by exceptional technical talent. Employees enjoy genuine autonomy and the flexibility needed to own their work-life balance on a day-to-day basis.

Cons

Since the acquisition, strategic focus has pivoted toward short-term cost optimization at the expense of long-term vision. This is most evident in recent layoffs that eliminated critical, highly technical talent that will be incredibly difficult and expensive to replace.
