Pros

Get to work with smart colleagues Learn cool stuff in different domains (CS and Bio) Very friendly and helpful HR

Cons

Concrete plans for engineering projects don't go beyond 1 week Priority shifting happens at least a few times a week (many times it happens daily) Claims to have an agile project management approach, but the most basic Agile project management tools and practices are not followed. For example, engineering managers have no clue how to use Jira, yet strongly believe that they use it properly. Lots of time is wasted in useless meetings (hours and hours a week). Lack of incentives and motivation. Engineering managers have no interest in improving employees; all they care about is delivering features (regardless of code quality) to higher-ups in the company. Basic CI/CD pipelines are nonexistent in highly critical production builds. Testing happens rarely. Merging code in master branches is taken very lightly (no integration tests are enforced in most repositories). Work-life balance is nonexistent unless you're willing to be a sub-average employee. Rarely feel appreciated by managers. TLDR; engineering managers are inadequate.

Pros

- Great compensation for a sophomore computer science major. - Approachable staff - Great work culture and work life balance - More freedom given to work on projects, less grunt work.

Cons

- Have to sometimes aggressively pursue higher-ups to get more work. - Less structured than a standard internship, less training and more about learning on the job (although this could be a pro to some).
