Pros

I was able to deeply involve myself in actual product development using Go and AWS. I even had the chance to participate in tech stack selection meetings, which was a great learning experience. Additionally, being able to intern in an English-speaking environment within Japan is a rare and valuable opportunity.

Cons

There were quite a lot of meetings, which sometimes limited focused coding time. Also, depending on the team, some might handle relatively low traffic compared to others.
