Pros

Very interesting robotics platforms. They are using current technology and have very interesting design challenges. They are cutting edge in the robotics field.

Cons

Projects sometimes get behind due to changing requirements. Requirements are sometimes very fluid well into the project design cycle. This often results in the contributors having to work extensively to keep the project deliverables on track.

Pros

Intern outings provide a great way to interact with fellow interns Bagel Fridays means free breakfast on Friday Beer cart - Beer during the work day...need I say more?

Cons

Projects vary by team and discipline. Some projects are not a great fit and can feel like busy work. I was fortunate to be doing development on a new product, but other software interns got stuck doing support and testing work.
