Pros

Responsible mentor, Meaningful intern project. Clear intern schedule and return criteria. Good return rate. Good participation in team activities, such as daily stand up, bi-weekly scrum meeting, design review, etc.

Cons

Onboarding tasks would not help much in intern project. Company culture does not encourage asking questions, which means you have to spend more time to find useful answers. No official free food / meals. Some offices do have small snacks.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
