Pros

- Really great pay - Really great benefits (free lunch, snacks, fridges always full of beer/wine, amazing facilities) - A lot of really smart, kind, helpful people work here

Cons

- So much attrition from engineers (over the last year, probably 40% of eng staff left) - Upper Eng Management (VPs and CTO) don't seem to care about keeping engineers or backfilling positions - New initiatives keep starting even though there is not enough staff to maintain current initiatives/projects

Pros

Gained hands-on experience building a full website using modern technologies like React, Node.js, and Firebase. Worked in a real team environment and collaborated with senior engineers and designers, which improved my communication and teamwork skills. Got exposure to a production-level development process, including working within structured systems and maintaining code quality

Cons

The internship was relatively short, so I didn’t get to work on as many long-term or large-scale projects as I would have liked. As an intern, I had limited ownership over major features, which sometimes meant less autonomy in decision-making. There was a learning curve with new tools and technologies, which took time to fully get comfortable with in the beginning. The pace of professional development was fast, which could be challenging while balancing the need to learn quickly and deliver high-quality work.
