"Probably my least favourite co-op term. Interns are def. treated differently and the work we're given isn't too complicated or interesting or impactful. Not really much freedom in what you can work on either- there are certain things that need to be done and you do them. There was also a lot more pressure to work over time during the second half of my term. Some of the engineers are pretty arrogant but not all; some are helpful. There's free food but it's not that good (but lots of snacks!)."

"Pros: - Work on useful, customer-facing projects - Opportunity to work full stack (for some positions) - Fun, smart coworkers Cons: - Interns given small, simple projects - It's clear that they don't really care about interns - Sales people are the majority of the company - Engineers seem more egotistical than at other companies - Hiring too fast, slowly degrading quality - Recently acquired by Cisco - hard to predict the consequences - Food isn't great + very repetitive"

"Interns are treated the same as full-timers and allowed to work on the same type of work, oversee their projects and push their own code. Work is available across the stack - from lower level networking, server maintenance and UI. Excellent working environment. Very friendly and smart engineers, yoga lessons on site, sports teams, free snacks/drinks, catered lunch and dinner."

"-They give you real work to do the day you start. -You get to work on interesting problems in a small team. -Everything I've built here has actually been important to customers and I get to work on projects from beginning to end on my own. -There's no pressure to come in on weekends or work ridiculous hours. -Fun, open work environment. Perks: Free food, housing or housing stipend (depending on the term), fun engineering outings (e.g. trampoline dodgeball, sporting events), annual engineering vacation"
