Pluspunten

Management reached out to me to make sure that I was happy with the internship and had everything I needed to succeed. My manager met with me every Friday for an hour to talk about my work, the internship experience, and my future among other topics. I worked on many systems that will lead to great career opportunities, and wasn't viewed as a grunt work intern, they wanted interns to do real work. Interns had lunch and meets with all the top execs, and the CIO even had a 30 min meeting with me later in the summer. The headquarters is an absolutely beautiful building.

Minpunten

Some employees and managers clearly didn't get along, but that is expected in the IT field, where business sense and IT sense don't always meet. Cubicles are the only office areas except for top execs, even directors have cubicles. No overtime pay, so even if you work over 40 hours you weren't allowed to put it in the system, but it was very rare for me to have to stay late (not sure if that was the workload or the fact that I just worked hard).

Pluspunten

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Minpunten

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
