Pros
Great place to learn about current technology trends and begin your career. The place is quick & fast-paced and you will be given the opportunity to work on several assignments including organizing entire dinners, compiling newsletters, daily briefings on the tech industry and other extremely interesting topics. The place is great as a first intern job straight out of college (like I was!). I was here for roughly about half a year as a Research Intern.
Cons
Very long work hours and you will work several nights and weekends (like an investment bank in NY). I would suggest against the company if you have other responsibilities in your personal space or live beyond SF. A few people have left because it was too demanding, lived outside SF and did not give them any time with their families. Although the MD is supportive, the company refuses to improve its technology (ex: including a CRM tool which has been suggested for years). The company also hires several interns, but currently only has 2 full-time Research Associates. We are all treated the same way, but it does get exhausting (particularly working ALL weekends). The Research Intern's stipend does not justify the work in any sense whatsoever.
