Pros

The vast majority of people working there are kind and extremely helpful. Also, the full time employees would find away to get the contract employees to company sponsored events

Cons

Working from 7pm to 8am could be very difficult at times. Also at times, there was poor communication between departments

Pros

Interns received all the perks that full time blue badges received. Shuttles and stipends to and from work were great. Very open door policy, a lot of opportunity to learn.

Cons

salary is kind of on the lower end, food is expensive and bland even though they subsidize it.
