Pros

I had a very positive experience as an intern but it was hard work. The full-time employees were really nice and interested in what work I was doing. They also made me feel comfortable enough to ask them questions if I got stuck.

Cons

I had a fixed salary as an intern, so if worked overtime, I was not compensated. Also, got tired of people telling me to get a PhD.
